== Introduction ==
'''Ammonium Hydroxide''' is a [[hydroxy salt]] of an [[ammonium ion]]. It is used in a variety of ways such as a simple household essential such as Windex. Ammonium hydroxide is not something to be messed with because it comes in direct contact with you or if you inhale it could lead to some very bad symptoms.

Ammonium Hydroxide plays an important role in food. It is extensively used in food processing as a leavening agent and for pH control. It also has no limitation other than good manufacturing practice. The food that ammonium hydroxide is used in is baked goods, cheese, and chocolates. It can also be used as an antimicrobial agent in meat products to get rid of any pathogens in the cattle from where the meat is coming from. Which makes it much safer to eat.<ref>author unknown.[https://www.gvsd.org/cms/lib02/PA01001045/Centricity/Domain/18/Questions%20and%20Answers%20about%20Ammonium%20Hydroxide%20use%20in%20Food%20Production.pdf Questions%20and%20Answers%20about%20Ammonium%20Hydroxide%20use%20in%20Food%20Production.pdf] Web.
