Question Sodiumcarbonate
« on: May 24, 2022, 09:15:00 PM »
Hello,

I am new here but I have a question first before I order this one.

Is this the same as sodium carbonate?
Natrium carbonate, Na2CO3, also called anhydrous calcined soda, pure soda or washing soda, is a salt of carbonic acid. As a food additive, it has the abbreviation E 500i.

Thanks in advance.

That is the right thing.  Na2CO3
There is the unknown and the unknowable.  It's a wise man who knows the difference.

I don't know what Thatcher means, but 'Karo Light Syrup' is the correct one.
Do not use the other one "Lite' corn syrup.
Light is good.
Lite is bad.

For the sodium carbonate, if you can get sodium bicarbonate cheaply (what we call baking soda in the US anyway), you can easily convert that to anhydrous sodium carbonate.

All you have to do is put it in a glass baking dish spread thinly, place in an oven at 350-400F for about an hour and you've got yourself anhydrous sodium carbonate. Just store it in a container with a tight fitting lid.

I am sorry, there was something happens with automatic correction with ´Thatcher` ;)

Thank you very much Kephra.
