Discover Premium Economical Food Preservatives with Sodium Metabisulfite
Sodium Metabisulfite Sodium Metabisulfite presents itself as a distinctive white or yellow crystalline powder or small crystal, exuding a potent SO2 aroma. It boasts a specific gravity of 1.4 and is water-soluble, where its aqueous solution reveals an acidic nature. Upon interacting with strong acids, it liberates SO2 to form a corresponding salt, and when exposed to air, oxidation occurs. Its chemical identity is Na2S2O5, indicative of the necessity for short-term storage. At temperatures exceeding 150 degrees Celsius, it undergoes decomposition, releasing SO2.
