DescriptionAmmonium chloride is an inorganic compound with the formula NH4Cl. It is a white crystalline salt that is highly soluble in water. In several countries ammonium chloride is known as sal ammoniac and used as food additive. The E number for ammonium chloride used as a food additive is E510. Ammonium chloride is used to spice up dark sweets called salty liquorice, in baking to give cookies a very crisp texture, and in the flavouring Salmiakki Koskenkorva for vodkas.
