Description:
Ammonium bicarbonate, a compound with formula NH4(C(=O)OHO), also called bicarbonate of ammonia, ammonium hydrogen carbonate, hartshorn, or powdered baking ammonia, is the bicarbonate salt of ammonia.
Ammonium bicarbonate is used in the food industry as a raising agent for flat baked goods, such as gingerbread,spartan brand cake cups[ice cream cones], digestive biscuit or Chinese youtiao). It was commonly used in the home before modern day baking powder was made available to home bakers. Many baking cookbooks (especially from Scandinavian countries) may still refer to it as hartshorn or hornsalt.
It is commonly used as an inexpensive nitrogen fertilizer in China, but is now being phased out in favor of urea because of its relatively low quality and instability. This compound is used as a component in the production of fire-extinguishing compounds, pharmaceuticals, dyes, pigments and it is also a basic fertilizer being a source of ammonia.
