So, what is natriumhydroxid?

Natriumhydroxid, also known as sodium hydroxide or caustic soda, is a highly alkaline and water-soluble compound that is commonly used in food production as a pH adjuster and leavening agent. It is a white, odorless solid that is corrosive and can cause severe burns if it comes into contact with skin or eyes. Natriumhydroxid is also used in the manufacturing of soaps, detergents, and textiles. When added to food, it reacts with other ingredients to help produce desirable textures, flavors, and colors. However, it is important to handle natriumhydroxid with care and to follow strict safety protocols when using it in food preparation.
