Ammonium Bicarbonate is an inorganic compound comprised of the bicarbonate salt of the ammonium ion. It’s a white powder that degrades in carbon dioxide, water and ammonia.

The well known and common name for ammonium bicarbonate is baking soda or baking powder (which is simply baking soda with cream of tartar and cornstarch added).

When used in food, ammonium bicarbonate decomposes during baking to release leavening gases.

Because of these properties, it is used in the production of cakes, biscuits, cookies, bagels, and cakes, among other baked goods.
