Ammonium Carbonate USP
Abstract
Ammonium carbonate is a salt with the chemical formula (NH4)2CO3. Commercial samples labeled ammonium carbonate no longer contain this compound, but a mixture that has similar ammonia content, Since it readily degrades to gaseous ammonia and carbon dioxide upon heating. It is also known as baker’s ammonia and was a predecessor to the more modern leavening agents baking soda and baking powder. It is a component of what was formerly known as sal volatile and salt of hartshorn.
Use/Application
Ammonium carbonate may be used as a leavening agent in traditional recipes, particularly those from northern Europe and Scandinavia (e.g. Speculoos, Tunnbröd or Lebkuchen). It also serves as an acidity regulator and has the E number E503. It can be substituted with baking powder, but this may affect both the taste and texture of the finished product. Ammonium carbonate is the main component of smelling salts, although the commercial scale of their production is small.
