Ammonium Bicarbonate Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Ammonium Hydrogen Carbonate
- NH4HCO3
- E503(ii)
Ammonium bicarbonate for bakery leavening and selected process chemistry in Malaysia. Also written NH4HCO3 and listed as E503(ii), it releases gas on heating and leaves little solid residue compared with many other raising salts.
Food-grade powder is the usual bakery and biscuit grade. Technical material supports industrial process uses where food labelling is not required. It is not the same product as ammonium carbonate.
Biscuit and cracker plants use ammonium bicarbonate as a heat-activated leavening aid. Some chemical processes use it as a mild alkaline ammonium source. Laboratory buyers may request reagent-style purity for analytical work.

Ammonium Bicarbonate grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Food grade ammonium bicarbonate | white crystalline powder | — | Bakery leavening for biscuits, crackers and other low-moisture dry baked goods where a food-grade ammonium bicarbonate or E503(ii) specification is required. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Technical grade ammonium bicarbonate | white crystalline powder | — | Industrial formulation, process chemistry and general manufacturing use where a technical salt meets the specification and food documentation is not required. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Ammonium Bicarbonate applications
Safety and handling
Keep sealed in a cool, dry place and protect from moisture and heat, which can cause decomposition and loss of carbon dioxide. Control dust during handling and follow the safety information for the quoted grade.
Common questions about ammonium bicarbonate
What is ammonium bicarbonate used for?
Buyers commonly specify it as a leavening agent for biscuits, crackers and other low-moisture dry baked goods, and as a technical process chemical in manufacturing. State the application so the correct grade can be matched.
Is food grade ammonium bicarbonate the same as E503(ii)?
Food-grade ammonium bicarbonate is identified as E503(ii) when supplied to a food additive specification. It is not the same as ammonium carbonate (E503(i)). Request food grade and any additive limits your process needs.
Which grade should I request: food or technical?
Food grade is for bakery and other food processing under E503(ii) or an equivalent food specification. Technical grade suits industrial formulation and general process chemistry where food documentation is not required.
Is ammonium bicarbonate the same as ammonium carbonate?
No. Ammonium bicarbonate is a separate salt, also known as ammonium hydrogen carbonate or E503(ii), with formula NH4HCO3. Ammonium carbonate is a different product (E503(i)) and should be enquired on its own page.
Is ammonium bicarbonate the same as baking soda?
No. Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3). Ammonium bicarbonate is an ammonium salt used mainly for dry bakery leavening and selected technical duties. Keep the two products separate when specifying or ordering.
What form is usually supplied?
Commercial material is typically a white crystalline powder. Particle size and packing depend on grade and source, so state any form or handling preference in the enquiry.
What details are needed for an ammonium bicarbonate price enquiry?
Provide grade, application, target specification, quantity and delivery location. Mention preferred packing and any product documents so the quotation can cover the full requirement.
