What is Aluminium Sodium Sulphate?
About Aluminium Sodium Sulphate
Aluminum sodium sulfate, also known as sodium aluminum sulfate or sodium alum, is a chemical compound used primarily as a food additive and in various industrial processes. Aluminum sodium sulfate is not naturally found in the human body as an essential nutrient or element. While small amounts of aluminum can enter the body through the diet and environment, sodium aluminum sulfate itself is not a substance that the body needs for normal physiological functions.
Aluminum sodium sulfate (often listed as E521) serves as a leavening agent in baked goods like cakes and cookies.
