Ammonium carbonate（Cat No.:R028349）, is a chemical compound with a range of uses. It is a white crystalline salt composed of ammonia and carbonic acid. In industry, it has been employed in baking as a leavening agent due to its ability to release carbon dioxide gas when heated. However, its use in baking has diminished due to the production of ammonia gas, which affects taste and safety. Ammonium carbonate also finds application in the manufacturing of some dyes and pigments, as a buffering agent in certain chemical processes, and as a reagent in various chemical reactions.
