Description
Ammonium bicarbonate is often used as a leavening agent in heavy doughs such as gingerbread.
Also known as ammonium hydrogen carbonate, it is a water-soluble salt that undergoes an endothermic (heat-absorbing) reaction.
It decomposes spontaneously in the open air into carbon dioxide, ammonia and water vapor.
Decomposition is accelerated when the temperature rises and the environment is humid. It is complete when boiling.
