Ammonium bicarbonate is a white, crystalline compound with the chemical formula NH4HCO3. It is a type of inorganic salt that is commonly used in the food industry as a leavening agent for baking, as well as in the production of ceramics, dyes, and other chemicals. When heated, ammonium bicarbonate decomposes into ammonia, carbon dioxide, and water vapor, which causes dough to rise and become light and fluffy. It is also known as hartshorn or baker’s ammonia.
