Product Description

Elevate your baking with our Ammonium Bicarbonate, the fast-acting, high-performance leavening agent that ensures light, crispy textures and perfectly risen baked goods. Commonly used in cookies, crackers, and delicate biscuits, this pure ammonium bicarbonate reacts quickly to release carbon dioxide, creating a soft, airy crumb with a distinct crunch.

Unlike traditional baking soda or baking powder, ammonium bicarbonate is ideal for products with high sugar content, like cookies and thin biscuits, where it provides a quicker rise without an aftertaste. This premium leavening agent ensures consistent results and superior texture for both home bakers and commercial food producers.

Non-GMO, pure ammonium bicarbonate is a must-have ingredient in your pantry, offering quick activation for crisp-textured pastries, efficient dough leavening, and improved overall product quality. Whether youre making traditional cookies, biscuits, or crackers, this leavening agent is essential for achieving the perfect bake every time.



Versatile Leavening Agent

Ammonium bicarbonate's unique thermal decomposition produces carbon dioxide and ammonia, creating porous textures in baked goods such as biscuits and cookies. It also serves as a pH regulator and raising agent, delivering consistent performance across food and industrial applications. Its stable, white crystalline form blends seamlessly in dry mixes, ensuring uniform leavening.


Safe and Approved for Food Use

This product is non-toxic at recommended levels and is free from allergens, making it safe for widespread food manufacturing. With food-grade and technical-grade options, ammonium bicarbonate complies with international food safety standards, holding regulatory approval as E503(i) and the UN number 1942 for safe transport.


Efficient Packaging and Storage Solutions

Available in various packaging formats-25 kg bags, 50 kg drums, or tailored solutions-ammonium bicarbonate is convenient for manufacturers, wholesalers, and distributors. The product remains stable and effective when stored in a well-sealed container, in cool and dry conditions, extending its shelf life up to two years from the manufacturing date.

FAQ's of Ammonium bicarbonate (leavening agent):


Q: How is ammonium bicarbonate used as a leavening agent in baking?

A: Ammonium bicarbonate is mixed with dry baking ingredients and, upon heating, decomposes to release carbon dioxide and ammonia gases. This process expands the dough, creating a light and porous texture that is ideal for cookies, crackers, and biscuits.

Q: What are the recommended storage conditions for ammonium bicarbonate?

A: Ammonium bicarbonate should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area in tightly closed containers to prevent moisture absorption and preserve its stability. These conditions ensure the product remains effective for up to two years.

Q: When does ammonium bicarbonate decompose, and what are its by-products?

A: Ammonium bicarbonate decomposes at temperatures between 36-60C (97-140F), producing carbon dioxide, ammonia, and water vapor. This decomposition is essential for its leavening action in baking and for safe use in other applications.

Q: Where can ammonium bicarbonate be applied besides baking?

A: Apart from baked goods, ammonium bicarbonate is used in pharmaceuticals, fire extinguishers, and some industrial processes as a pH regulator and raising agent, owing to its solubility in water and release of gases at elevated temperatures.

Q: What packaging options are available for ammonium bicarbonate?

A: Ammonium bicarbonate is offered in standard 25 kg bags or 50 kg drums, with customizable packaging available to meet specific requirements of manufacturers, wholesalers, and distributors.

Q: Is ammonium bicarbonate safe for consumers with food allergies?

A: Yes, ammonium bicarbonate is allergen-free and non-toxic when used as directed in food applications, making it suitable for a wide range of consumers in the food industry.

Q: What are the benefits of using ammonium bicarbonate in food production?

A: Ammonium bicarbonate provides efficient leavening for light-textured baked products, is free from allergens, has a reliable shelf life, and decomposes cleanly without leaving harmful residues, making it a preferred choice in commercial baking.
