Baking powder was first developed in 1861. This is known as the Solvay Ammonium process. It is a baked chemical dissolving agent. The baking powder production process is simple. To start its business, one can start a baking powder manufacturing business with small infrastructure as well as a general machinery. Information about this is given here.
Baking Powder Manufacturing foundation for the business of manufacturing baking powder
- To start this business or to start a plant, one must first choose a place or region. When you are going to operate a small unit, at least you need to have an area of up to 1000 feet for storage, production, packaging of raw materials, space for maintenance of finished goods as well as more administrative work. Will have to be covered.
- Apart from this, the system of supply of electricity, water etc. will also have to be taken care of.
- Also some basic machines will be required such as micro pulveriser, sifter, packaging machine, weighing machine and electrically operated oven etc. All these are used in the manufacture of baking powder.
Baking Powder making raw material list
- Sodium Bai Carbonate: 35% wts
- Starch: 24% wts
- Sodium aluminum sulfate: 29% wts
- Acid Calcium Phosphate: 12 kg
- Potassium by tartrate (for home preparation): 40% wts
Baking Powder making raw material
Many blossom shops of buying these raw materials are present in almost every city. All the ingredients for the manufacture of baking powder are usually chemical, so all these materials will be found at a chemical shop. In addition to these shops, they can also be ordered online, but there can be a limit on quantity in online orders.

Baking Powder manufacturing process at home
If you want to start this business on a very small scale, then this business can be started with very little money. Also, baking powder can be made easily at home. Materials for this will also be obtained very easily. For this, the names of the necessary materials are being given below.
Material :
2 teaspoons of tartar cream, also known as potassium bitartrate.
1 teaspoon baking soda, also known as sodium bicarbonate.
Process :
To make baking powder at home, mix potassium bitartrate and sodium bicarbonate salt together. From this, 3-4 tablespoons of baking powder will be formed. Put it in an airtight box and keep it in a cool and dry place.
Baking Powder making machine
Following are the machines used to make King Powder, using which, in a short time, a good quality baking powder can be manufactured, which is as follows: –
- Ribbon blender
- Electronic motor
- Electricity Installation Charges ie Electrical Installation Charges Machine
- Roof set covering machines
Baking Powder manufacturing business cost
If you are thinking of starting this business by installing a baking powder machine, then the cost or cost incurred in manufacturing 1000 kg gram per day of baking powder, it may take at least Rs 33 lakh to set up the entire plant. , In which the cost of land and building, salary of employees and many similar expenses may be incurred, whose cost will be as follows: –
- Machine Price and Plant Cost: 5 Lakhs
- Cost of raw materials: 4 to 5 lakhs
- Employees’ salary: 1 lakh
- In Land and Building Construction: 20 Lakhs
- Other expenses: 1 to 2 lakhs
Baking Powder Manufacturing Business necessary action
To start the business of baking powder on a large scale, different types of licenses and permissions have to be obtained. Different states have their own rules for this, whichever state is going to start business requires some necessary action, which can be in the following forms –
- Whenever you are going to start your business, first register your business for a small scale unit.
- After that apply for the license of the business from the local municipal body authority.
- Then get the MSME industry Aadhaar registration done.
- Open a current bank account.
- After this, apply for FSSAI license.
- In the end, you have to get the certificate given by them, descending on the quality standards set by BIS. The quality standard for baking powder that BIS has set is 1159: 1957.
- Gather information about any tax that will be levied on your product.
Baking Powder Manufacturing Business process
Baking powder batches can be made very easily with the help of ‘batch’ process. Full details of this process are given below.
- Sodium bicarbonate is to be prepared in the first stage of its manufacture. Sodium bicarbonate is the most essential ingredient in the manufacture of baking powder. Sodium bicarbonate is produced by the Solvay ammonia chemical process. In this process, ammonia and carbon dioxide react in the presence of salt water. First, ammonia and carbon dioxide react to form ammonium by carbonate. This ammonium bicarbonate combines with salt water to form sodium bicarbonate.
- After sodium bicarbonate is formed, it is purified with the help of a vacuum filter. At the same time, it is washed with clean water to remove excess chloride from it. After this, its chemical process is done with carbon dioxide. By this process we get sodium carbonate. This chemical process requires heat.
- The sodium carbonate crystals obtained from the reaction are poured into the by-carbonate solution. A cake-like substance is made here. This cake is cleaned and dried with the help of a flash drier. In this process, up to 99 percent pure baking powder is obtained.
Baking Powder packaging
Baking powder is packaged differently for different users, usually it comes in two types of packaging in the form of a pouch and other containers as packing. It is usually packed in packets of 264 grams or 113 grams for domestic use and 2 to 4 kilograms of packets or metal boxes for hotels or restaurants. For industrial bakeries, its packing is done in 25 kg to 45 kg fiber box. Its packing is done through automatic machine.
