* Note: Ammonium bicarbonate is a carbonate, so it must not be left with acids.

Ammonium Bicarbonate is uniquely suited to the leavening of low finished product moisture baked goods like crackers and cookies. It is highly efficient, converting completely to leavening gases.

As a leavning agent, it’s widely used in various applications. For example, biscuit just like baking powder. Furthermore, it stabilizes properties by preserving food, retaining its color, and regulating the acid capacity. You can use baking powder, baking soda, or a combination of the two as a substitute, depending on your requirement.

Application of food grade ammonium bicarbonate:

It’s widely used in various applications. For example:

Food industry

It is widely used in the food industry for baking purposes, mainly as a raising or leavening agent to make cookies, bread, cake and crackers soft, light and moist. In the baking industry, ammonium bicarbonate preferred due to the thin, fluffy and crisp texture it gives baked products like crackers.
●  By expanding the walls of baked goods, bicarbonate raises them, making them tender, moist, fluffy, and lighter in texture.
●  It helps to adjust the PH of the dough by controlling the color of baked products by darkening the color, whitening bread crumbs, or retaining them.
●  It speeds up the baking process, saves time, and preserves foods by modifying the taste, aroma, and flavor of biscuits, cakes, crackers, and other baked products.

Chemical field

1.Producing ceramics, porous plastics, dyes, and pigments
2.For scale removal in boilers and as a foaming agent for rubber

Agriculture

Added to compost heaps for accelerating the rate of decomposition and using them as fertilizers

Pharmaceutical industry

It is a good buffer (because of its volatile nature) in pharmaceutical applications like lyophilization (freeze-drying) for producing injectable and oral dosage forms

Medicine

Used as a component of human and vet medications.

Advantage of food grade ammonium bicarbonate:
*They are various ways you can benefit from using food grade ammonium bicarbonate like:

● It is a mineral salt that is primarily used as a leavening in flat-baked goods such as cakes, cookies, bakery products, and bread. It raises these baked goods that make them tender, moist, makes their texture lighter.
● It is used to stabilize properties by preserving food such as cold food and beverages.
● It helps to retain its color and aroma.
● It regulates the acid capacity.
● When baking, it can be used as a substitute for baking powder and baking soda or as a mixture of the two.
● It has a component useful in food preservation.

Is Ammonium Bicarbonate Safe To Eat In Food?

Yes.

It is safe for food, and it has been guaranteed by Food and Drug Administration (FDA) but accidental ingestion of large amounts of ammonium bicarbonate may be harmful and cause damage to the health.

Ammonium Bicarbonate Composition and Synthesis:

Its preparation involves the reaction of carbon dioxide and ammonia in a cold condition, with ammonium bicarbonate forming as a solid white precipitate. It is represented by the following equation [4]:

NH3 + CO2+ H2O → (NH4)HCO3
