Metabology Ammonium Carbonate | Salt of Hawthorn | Smelling Salts

Metabology Ammonium Carbonate | Salt of Hawthorn | Smelling Salts provides ammonium carbonate, historically known as salt of hartshorn, for use in specialist food, laboratory, and odorant applications as specified by the user’s intended grade. The material releases carbon dioxide and ammonia on heating, which is why it is employed as a traditional leavening agent in certain baked goods and as a component in smelling‑salts preparations. It should be stored in well‑sealed containers to limit volatilisation and moisture uptake, and handled in ventilated areas due to its characteristic pungency. Supplied as a crystalline or granulated solid suitable for controlled weighing and blending, it is appropriate for processes that require rapid gas release or localised odorant generation. Supplied as whole product without a specified pack size, it is suitable for general use and can be portioned or milled as required by the process. Users must confirm suitability and grade compliance for their jurisdiction and end use, and apply normal controls for materials that liberate ammonia during processing.
