Ammonium sulfate is widely utilized as a fertilizer for alkaline soils. In biochemistry, it is used for the purification of proteins via the ammonium sulfate precipitation method.
Overview
Ammonium sulfate is widely utilized as a fertilizer for alkaline soils. In biochemistry, it is used for the purification of proteins via the ammonium sulfate precipitation method. As a food additive, it serves as an acidity regulator in flours and bread. Ammonium sulfate is used most commonly as an artificial fertilizer for alkaline soils. When introduced into damp soil, an ammonium ion is released. This creates a small amount of acid, which lowers the pH balance of the soil. It also contributes nitrogen, which aids in plant growth.
