Ammonium bicarbonate
Ammonium bicarbonate is a white crystalline solid with an ammonia odor. It is soluble in water but decomposes easily upon heating, releasing ammonia and carbon dioxide. This compound is unstable in moist air and acidic conditions, and it finds use as a leavening agent.

The unique function of ammonium bicarbonate lies in the powerful and rapid expansion it provides during baking. Unlike slower-acting baking powders, its quick gas release happens before the product's structure sets. This creates a highly aerated, open internal structure with a characteristically crisp "snap" and low density. This specific texture is difficult to achieve with other leavening agents, making it indispensable for traditional recipes of gingerbread cookies, puff biscuits, and other baked snacks that require a delicate, glass-like brittleness.
