Character：White Powder

Calcium Acid Pyrophosphate (CAPP) is a food additive commonly used as a leavening agent in baked goods. It is a white powder that is odorless and tasteless. CAPP reacts with baking soda to produce carbon dioxide gas, which helps the dough rise and creates a light, fluffy texture in the finished product.

CAPP is also used as a sequestrant, which means it can bind to metal ions and prevent them from reacting with other ingredients in the food. This helps to maintain the quality and stability of the food.

CAPP is generally recognized as safe by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) when used in accordance with good manufacturing practices. It is commonly found in baked goods, such as cakes, cookies, and breads, as well as in some processed cheeses and meats.
