Ammonium Carbonate, FCC, USP – (NH₄)₂CO₃ | CAS 506-87-6
Product Overview
Ammonium Carbonate, FCC, USP Grade is a high-purity, white crystalline solid conforming to both Food Chemicals Codex (FCC) and United States Pharmacopeia (USP) standards. Often referred to as “baker’s ammonia,” it is valued for its leavening properties in baked goods and also functions as a pH regulator and mild alkali in pharmaceutical and food processing applications. Its high solubility and volatility upon heating make it ideal for formulations where residue-free performance is critical.
