1, the composition is different. Soda is also called alkali noodles, edible soda ash, edible alkali, etc., yes, soda is edible alkali, edible alkali is also called soda, its chemical formula is called sodium carbonate (Na2Co3), is a naturally occurring raw material, and baking soda generally refers to edible baking soda, the chemical formula is called sodium bicarbonate (NaHCo3), which is an upgraded raw material made after processing soda, so the composition and structure of the two are not the same;
2, the color is different. The color of soda is slightly transparent white, the color is not as white as baking soda and has a little translucency, while the color of baking soda is white, and it is pure white, very white;
3, the shape is different. From the appearance of soda light, similar to white sugar but smaller fine sand state, not powdery, while baking soda appearance is a very fine white powder state;
4, the smell is different. The smell of soda is more pungent, with a clearly pungent odor, the taste is heavier, commonly known as "alkaline odor", while the smell of baking soda is very flat, not pungent, without any peculiar smell;
5. The nature is different. The nature of soda is relatively stable, it does not decompose in case of heat, it is easily soluble in water and the water is alkaline after mixing with water, while the nature of baking soda is unstable, it is easy to decompose in case of heat, it is also easily soluble in water, and it is easy to decompose into sodium carbonate, carbon dioxide and water when added to water, so the water is weakly alkaline after being dissolved in water;
6, the use is different. Because soda is more alkaline, the smell is very pungent, so it can not be eaten directly, even if it is dissolved in water, and baking soda because the alkaline is not heavy, the smell is very light, so it can be eaten, often used to make a variety of soda, soda used in the use.

Soda generally refers to the edible level of soda, also known as alkali noodles, edible alkali, generally mainly used for "clean hygiene", "food tender meat powder" and "pasta to taste", the specific uses are as follows:
1. Cleanliness and hygiene. Because soda itself is soda ash, alkali surface, so its corrosiveness is very strong, widely used in a variety of detergents, disinfectants to participate in the production, cleaning effect is better;
2. Food tender meat powder. Because the edible soda itself is corrosive, contact with any meat can corrode the surface and increase the surface protein tenderness, so it is often used in a variety of beef, lamb, chicken, pork and other meat for tender meat, loose meat treatment, of course, the amount is particularly small, mainly to increase the taste;
3. Pasta to taste. Generally we do buns, steamed buns or other noodles may always be left with a lump of old noodles, the next day directly throw away the definite waste, but at this time the dough will generally begin to sour and sour, at this time only need to add some edible soda to easily remove the sour taste, help the dough secondary use, and the dough will have a little special flavor, and when cooking zongzi, it will often add a little edible soda to the glutinous rice to increase the golden yellow color of the zongzi, so that the cooked zongzi looks more attractive and fragrant. It is also widely used in alkaline water surfaces to increase flavor and texture.
