Ammonium Bicarbonate Food Grade 25KG
Ammonium Bicarbonate Food Grade is a high-purity food additive widely used as a leavening agent and pH regulator in the baking and food processing industry. Commonly known as baker’s ammonia or hartshorn, it decomposes rapidly during heating to release carbon dioxide and ammonia gas, producing light, airy, and crispy textures in biscuits, crackers, cookies, and traditional baked goods. Its clean decomposition and minimal residue make it ideal for commercial food manufacturing, specialty bakery production, and professional culinary applications.
Chemical Name Ammonium Hydrogen Carbonate.
Synonyms Baker’s Ammonia, Hartshorn, Ammonium Acid Carbonate, E503(ii), Food Grade Ammonium Bicarbonate, Ammonium Hydrogen Carbonate FCC Grade.
CAS Number 1066-33-7.
Appearance White crystalline powder or fine granules with a characteristic mild ammonia odor, free-flowing and highly soluble in water, designed for easy blending into dry food formulations and baking mixes.
Key Properties Molecular Formula NH4HCO3 with a Molecular Weight of 79.06 g/mol; highly water soluble; fast-acting leavening agent; decomposes at relatively low temperatures releasing carbon dioxide and ammonia; leaves minimal solid residue after baking; supports consistent product texture and volume; compliant with FCC food-grade purity standards; stable when stored correctly under dry and cool conditions.
Uses Widely applied in food and beverage manufacturing including biscuits, crackers, cookies, flatbreads, and traditional pastries; used as a leavening agent in low-moisture baked products; employed as a pH regulator and fermentation aid; suitable for industrial bakery production, commercial food processing, snack manufacturing, and specialty culinary recipes requiring rapid expansion and crisp texture.
Storage Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated environment away from moisture, acids, and direct heat sources. Keep containers tightly sealed to prevent decomposition and odor contamination. Maintain storage temperatures preferably below 25°C and protect from humidity and sunlight to ensure product stability, extended shelf life, and optimal food-grade quality.
Safety & Handling (SDS Summary) Handle in areas with adequate ventilation to avoid inhalation of ammonia vapors or dust. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment including gloves, safety glasses, and a dust mask when handling large quantities. Avoid contact with strong acids and oxidizing agents. In case of skin or eye contact, rinse thoroughly with clean water. Follow standard food-grade chemical handling procedures and dispose of material according to local regulatory guidelines and food safety standards.
