Azodicarbonamide, ADCA, ACA, [1] ADA, or azo(bis)formamide, is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C 2 H 4 O 2 N 4. [2] It is a yellow to orange-red, odorless, crystalline powder. It is sometimes called a 'yoga mat' chemical because of its widespread use in foamed plastics.
Biurea is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C 2 H 6 N 4 O 2.It is produced in food products containing azodicarbonamide, a common ingredient in bread flour, when they are cooked. [2]

Azo compounds are organic compounds bearing the functional group diazenyl (R−N=N−R′, in which R and R′ can be either aryl or alkyl groups).. IUPAC defines azo compounds as: "Derivatives of diazene (diimide), HN=NH, wherein both hydrogens are substituted by hydrocarbyl groups, e.g. PhN=NPh azobenzene or diphenyldiazene.", where Ph stands for phenyl group.

azodicarbonamide (E927) potassium bromate (E924, the component which gives bromated flour its name, used mainly in the U.S. East and Midwest, acts as a bleaching agent, banned in some areas) potassium iodate; Reducing agents help to weaken the flour by breaking the protein network. This will help with various aspects of handling a strong dough.
The person who added that information to the German Wikipedia page was using this article, which states that azodicarbonamide decomposes at 165-195 degrees. Since they don't use a unit in the abstract I assume the editor converted 195 degrees from fahrenheit to celsius, which led to 90 C.
A traditional route to diimide involves oxidation of hydrazine with hydrogen peroxide or air. [1]N 2 H 4 + H 2 O 2 → N 2 H 2 + 2H 2 O. Alternatively the hydrolysis of diethyl azodicarboxylate or azodicarbonamide affords diimide: [2]
