Ammonium bicarbonate is a food-grade white crystalline powder used as a leavening agent in baking and as a nitrogen source in food processing applications. We supply bulk Ammonium Bicarbonate sourced from leading China manufacturers, available in powder form for food and beverage manufacturers worldwide. Our Ammonium Bicarbonate is widely used in crackers, traditional European biscuit recipes, food processing, fermentation media for yeast cultures and confectionery and chocolate manufacturing.
Ammonium bicarbonate is an inorganic compound widely used in the food industry as a leavening agent. It decomposes into carbon dioxide, ammonia, and water upon heating. This makes it ideal for flat baked goods such as crackers and cookies.
Unlike baking soda, it leaves no residual sodium in the finished product. It is valued for producing light, crispy textures in baked goods. Ammonium bicarbonate is also used in certain confectionery and snack food manufacturing processes.
