TIPS:
* Potash : Potassium Carbonate, bicarbonate of soda
* Sorbex : Sorbitol liquid,Sorbitol is classified as a hexahydric sugar alcohol and is commercially available as a 70 % liquid (solution in water). Sorbitol will increase the smoothness of the dough and is also used to increase shelf live.
Sugar alcohols, which include sorbitol, xylitol, maltitol, maltitol syrup, and hydrogenated starch hydrolysates, are found naturally in berries, apples, plums and other foods. They also are produced commercially from carbohydrates such as sucrose, glucose and starch. Most sugar alcohols are approximately half as sweet as sucrose; maltitol and xylitol are about as sweet as sucrose. As a group, sugar alcohols are incompletely absorbed and metabolized and consequently contribute fewer calories than other carbohydrates.
* Baker's Ammonia (ammonium carbonate)
An old-fashioned leavener. It gives off a noxious smell while baking, but the odor dissipates by the time baking is complete, leaving extra-crisp cookies or crackers.
