Ammonium bicarbonate

Ammonium bicarbonate is a food ingredient that helps baked goods like cookies and biscuits rise and become light and fluffy. It is a white powder that comes from a combination of ammonia and carbon dioxide. You might find it listed on the label of some packaged foods.

To make ammonium bicarbonate, chemicals like carbon dioxide and ammonia are combined in a controlled environment. This creates the white powder that is then used in baking to help dough rise. It is a common ingredient in baking powder and is also sometimes used as a leavening agent in certain recipes.

Ammonium bicarbonate is included in food products to help them rise when baked. It gives cookies and biscuits a light texture and can be found in traditional European and Scandinavian recipes. Its presence on food labels indicates its role in the baking process, helping create tasty treats that have a delicate and fluffy consistency.
