What is the E number? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.103.184.76 (talk) 19:08, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
- E450, and it's normally combined with E500 and listed as ‘leavening agent: E450/E500’ or something similar on ingredient lists. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.114.146.117 (talk) 19:35, 5 December 2016 (UTC)

Dubious remark[edit]
FTA: Because the resulting phosphate residue has an off-taste, SAPP is usually used in very sweet cakes which mask the off-taste.
Regular self-leavening flour, which is used to bake bread, non-sweet cakes, other cakes, certain cookies, pancakes, &c. and which probably accounts for most of the use of SAPP, contains only wheat flour and baking powder and no sugar. Although for some recipes sugar is added to the mix, this is by no means standard and I've never experienced any nasty off-taste, not even when using it myself without any sugar at all. Unfortunately I am at the moment unable to check the cited source but I strongly suspect that it either doesn't say what the article says (maybe it's only true at particularly high concentrations?) or the source itself doesn't really know what it's talking about (most sugar is added to products because people prefer sweetness). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.114.146.117 (talk) 19:32, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
