Ammonium Bicarbonate, CAS NO - 1066-33-7 About
Ammonium bicarbonate is a white, crystalline inorganic compound with the chemical formula NHHCO and CAS No. 1066-33-7. It is highly soluble in water and has a characteristic ammonia-like odor. Ammonium bicarbonate is commonly used as a leavening agent in food products, particularly in biscuits, crackers, and other low-moisture baked goods, where it decomposes during heating and releases carbon dioxide and ammonia. It is also used in fertilizers, pharmaceuticals, chemical manufacturing, and various industrial applications. It should be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place in a tightly closed container.
