Ammonium Bicarbonate is a versatile compound commonly used as a leavening agent in food production and as a nitrogen fertilizer in agriculture. It is recognized for its rapid decomposition into ammonia, carbon dioxide, and water, leaving no harmful residues in baked goods or soil.

Specifications (Typical Values)

Metodo di produzione

Ammonium Bicarbonate is manufactured through a gas-liquid reaction of ammonia (NH₃), carbon dioxide (CO₂), and water. The main reaction is:

NH₃ + CO₂ + H₂O → NH₄HCO₃

This reaction takes place under controlled temperature and pressure in a closed system. The resulting crystalline product is then filtered, dried, and packed in moisture-resistant bags.

Applicazioni

Industria alimentare

• agente lievitante: Used in cookies, biscuits, crackers, and puffed snacks. It decomposes at baking temperatures, releasing CO₂ to provide volume and texture without leaving an alkaline taste.

• Additivo alimentare: Listed as E503(ii), approved for safe use in many countries.

Agricoltura

• Nitrogen Fertilizer: Provides around 17% nitrogen, suitable for crops requiring fast nitrogen release.

• Soil Conditioner: Enhances soil fertility, particularly in acidic or neutral soils.

Usi industriali

• agente schiumogeno: Used in the production of plastics and rubber.

• Estintori: Ingredient in dry powder fire extinguishers.

• Chemical Reagent: Used in dyes, pharmaceuticals, and laboratory analysis.

Functional Effects

• Rapid Leavening: Fast decomposition ensures immediate gas release during baking, ideal for low-moisture products.

• Zero Residue: Decomposes into gases, leaving no solid residue or off-flavor in baked goods.

• Nitrogen Supply: Effective and economical nitrogen source for short-cycle crops.

• Cost Efficiency: Affordable for both food manufacturers and agricultural users.

Imballaggio e stoccaggio

• Imballaggio standard: 25 kg kraft paper bags with PE liner or 50 kg woven PP bags

• OEM Options: Custom labels and packaging available

• Condizioni di conservazione: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Protect from heat, moisture, and direct sunlight.
