FAQS on ambic ammonium bicarbonate
Q: What is ammonium bicarbonate (AmBiC) used for in baking?
A: Ammonium bicarbonate is a leavening agent used in baked goods like cookies and crackers. It releases gas quickly at high temperatures, creating a light, crisp texture. It’s ideal for low-moisture recipes where residual ammonia can dissipate.
Q: How does ammonium bicarbonate differ from ammonium carbonate?
A: Both are leavening agents, but ammonium carbonate decomposes at lower temperatures and releases more ammonia. Ammonium bicarbonate is preferred for baked goods requiring uniform rising. They are often used interchangeably in specific recipes.
Q: Is ammonium bicarbonate safe for consumption in baked goods?
A: Yes, when used properly, it’s safe as it fully decomposes during baking, leaving no harmful residues. Overuse can cause an ammonia odor or bitter taste. It’s approved as a food additive in many countries.
Q: Why is ammonium bicarbonate commonly used in Asian baked goods?
A: It’s popular in Asian pastries like almond cookies for its ability to create airy, crispy textures. The high baking temperatures ensure complete ammonia evaporation. Traditional recipes often favor it over baking soda or powder.
Q: Can ammonium bicarbonate be substituted with baking soda?
A: Yes, but adjustments are needed: use 1 part baking soda to 2 parts ammonium bicarbonate. Add an acid (e.g., vinegar) to neutralize the soda’s bitterness. Texture differences may occur in final products.
