Product Overview:
Ammonium Chloride (NH₄Cl), classified as E510 in the European Union food additive list, is a white crystalline compound used in food formulations as an acidity regulator, yeast nutrient, and flavoring agent. Our product is manufactured under strict quality control to meet international FCC and EU food additive standards, offering excellent purity, solubility, and functionality in food processing.
Raw Material & Production Process:
Our food-grade ammonium chloride is produced through a synthetic neutralization process using high-purity ammonia (NH₃) and hydrochloric acid (HCl). This method ensures:
Consistent particle size
Low heavy metal content
Excellent solubility and stability
No by-product contamination
After neutralization, the solution undergoes crystallization, centrifugation, drying, and fine sieving to obtain food-grade quality.
