✅ Introduction

Food grade Ammonium Bicarbonate (NH₄HCO₃) is a widely-used leavening agent in bakery applications, especially for low-moisture products such as crispy biscuits, crackers, cookies, puff pastries, and snacks. It provides high gas-release efficiency without leaving sodium residues, making it a preferred ingredient for industrial bakeries.

🍪 Why Ammonium Bicarbonate is Used in Baking

• Produces excellent crispness and light structure

• Strong leavening power at lower temperatures

• No alkaline aftertaste when moisture is properly baked out

• Creates uniform pore structure for ideal snap

• Suitable for high-speed industrial baking

🔬 Working Mechanism — How It Improves Texture

During baking, ammonium bicarbonate undergoes thermal decomposition:

NH₄HCO₃ → NH₃ (gas) + CO₂ (gas) + H₂O (vapor)

These gases push the dough upward, forming:
✅ More air cells
✅ Crisp texture
✅ Better expansion and visual appeal

Since it fully decomposes, no ammonium or sodium salt residues remain — an advantage over traditional baking soda in certain products.

🍞 Recommended Applications

Best suited for dry-baked products with sufficient baking time to remove ammonia odor completely.
