Ammonium Bicarbonate

Ammonium bicarbonate, also known as food-grade ammonium bicarbonate, is a chemical compound widely used in food and industrial applications. It's typically stored in a dry place to prevent moisture absorption and maintain its efficacy. Available in powder form, it's primarily utilized as a leavening agent in baking, contributing to the rise and texture of baked goods like cookies and crackers. In the food industry, it's valued for its ability to produce carbon dioxide gas upon heating, resulting in a light and airy texture. Additionally, it finds use in various industrial processes such as chemical synthesis and as a fertilizer component.
