Marie biscuits with soapy taste

February 02, 2022

Hi, 

Amye here.

Issue: marie biscuit having soapy taste

Root cause I have in mind: imbalance pH, saponification process which happened when ammonia bicarbonate reacted with shortening. 

Question: 

  • Is there any calculation method available to calculate how much ammonia bicarbonate and sodium bicarbonate we can add into a recipe in order to have a balanced pH?
  • I wonder if there's any acid needed to balance the pH? If yes, which acid to use? How to calculate how much of the acid to use?

Thank you in advance

Regards,

Amye
