???? Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is Ammonium Bicarbonate E503 used for?
It is a traditional raising agent used primarily in biscuits, crackers, cookies and other crispy baked products.

No. Ammonium Bicarbonate releases ammonia, carbon dioxide and water vapour when heated, making it particularly suitable for thin baked goods.
