Overview

E503 - Ammonium carbonates

Ammonium carbonates (E503) are raising agents used in baking, known to many bakers as “baker’s ammonia” or “hartshorn.” They make thin, dry baked goods light and crisp by releasing gases when heated, then leaving almost no residue.

E517 - Ammonium sulphate

Ammonium sulphate (E517) is a food additive used mainly in baking. It helps yeast grow and supports dough strength, so breads rise well and bake evenly. It is permitted in both the U.S. and the EU when made to food-grade standards.
