Ammonium Bicarbonate
Ammonium bicarbonate is one of the most widely used loosening agents in the food industry and also the producer of carbon dioxide in soft drinks. The decomposed ammonia and carbon dioxide can make food puffy. Due to the good expansion effect, a lot of puffed food, puff, Sakima and other food will contain this kind of additives.Edible grade ammonium bicarbonate is relatively pure ammonium bicarbonate, which contains no or little harmful substances to human health, food grade ammonium bicarbonate conforms to the national food safety standards.
Application
As leavening agent for manufacture of bread and biscuits; manufacture of ammonium salts and pharmaceuticals; raw material for potassium carbonate; raw material for lithium battery, raw material for sodium bicarbonate; it also widely used in chemical field such as flour brightening agent, rare earth deep processing, medicine mid-body, plastics processing, electronic element etc.

The role and efficacy of ammonium bicarbonate in food
1. As a nitrogen fertilizer, suitable for various soils, it can provide both ammonium nitrogen and carbon dioxide required for crop growth, but has low nitrogen content and is prone to clumping.
2. Used as an analytical reagent, as well as in the synthesis of ammonium salts and fabric degreasing.
3. It can promote crop growth and photosynthesis, promote seedling growth and leaf growth, and can be used as topdressing or directly applied as base fertilizer, used as a food expander.
4. Used as an advanced fermentation agent for food. When combined with sodium bicarbonate, it can be used as a raw material for leavening agents such as bread, biscuits, and pancakes, and also as a raw material for foaming powder juice. It is also used for blanching green vegetables, bamboo shoots.
The role of edible ammonium bicarbonate
Ammonium bicarbonate and sodium bicarbonate decompose under heating to produce gas, which fills the biscuit with bubbles and causes it to swell.
Taking sodium bicarbonate as an example, the reactions that occur are: 2NaHCO3 (heating)=Na2CO3+H2O (gas)+CO2 (gas) Ammonium bicarbonate, sodium bicarbonate is harmless to the human body: sodium is an essential element of the human body, such as sodium chloride; Carbonate ions escape in the form of carbon dioxide under the action of gastric acid, which is also harmless to human body; Ammonium ions can be excreted through urine and are harmless in small amounts.
