:Ammonium carbonate, often known as baker's ammonia, is a white, crystalline powder with a strong ammonia odor. It is primarily used as a leavening agent in baking, helping doughs rise and achieve a light, airy texture. Unlike other leavening agents, it decomposes completely into gases (ammonia, carbon dioxide, and water vapor) upon heating, leaving no residual taste or odor. Additionally, it is employed in certain confectioneries for its unique properties, which provide crispiness to cookies and crackers. Ammonium carbonate also serves as a pH buffer and an ingredient in some traditional recipes, particularly in Scandinavian and Middle Eastern cuisines.

Ammonium carbonate, commonly used in the food industry, has several notable features:

  1. Leavening Agent: Ammonium carbonate is primarily used as a leavening agent in baking. It decomposes into carbon dioxide, ammonia, and water when heated, which causes dough and batter to rise, resulting in light and airy baked goods like cookies and crackers.

  2. Aromatic Ammonia: This compound also serves as a component in "smelling salts" due to its ability to release ammonia gas, which has a strong, pungent odor. This property is sometimes leveraged in the culinary world to provide a unique flavor profile in certain traditional recipes.

  3. Volatile and Non-Toxic: Ammonium carbonate is highly volatile, meaning it easily breaks down and leaves no residue after baking. It is also considered non-toxic in the amounts typically used in food preparation
