Ammonium Bicarbonate is colorless rhombic or monoclinic crystals or white crystalline powder with anti caking agent. The relative density is 1.58 and the melting point is at 107.5 degree centigrade. It is easily soluble in the water, redily forming an alkaline solution. (The density of saturated solution is 11.9g/100ml at 0 degree centigrade and 28g/100ml at 30 degree centigrade.) the PH value of 0.08% splution is 7.8. It is soluble in glycerin. It decomposes into carbon dioxide and ammonia. Its hygroscopicity is strong and after moisture-absorbing it gives off the irritating smell of ammonia which is not present when the material is dry. It easily effloresces in the air.

Ammonium bicarbonate is used in the food industry as a raising agent for flat baked goods, such as gingerbread, spartan brand cake cups ice cream cones, digestive biscuit. Compared to baking soda or potash, hartshorn has the advantage of producing more gas for the same amount of agent, and of not leaving any salty or soapy taste in the finished product, as it completely decomposes into water and gaseous products which evaporate during baking.
