MCQ (Single Correct)

What is the commonly used inert filler used in baking powder?

Sodium bicarbonate Cream of tartar Comstarch Correct Calcium carbonate

Role of Cornstarch in Chemical Leavening (Baking Powder):
Formulation Components:
Sodium bicarbonate (alkaline carbonate source).
Leavening acid salts (sodium aluminum sulfate, monocalcium phosphate, cream of tartar).
Cornstarch ($20 - 30\%$): Acts as an inert diluent and moisture-absorbing filler, keeping chemical reactants physically separated and dry to prevent premature effervescence during storage.
Conclusion: Comstarch (Option 3).

Correct option: (3) Comstarch
