Discover the Ultimate in Premium Economical Food Preservatives with our Sodium Metabisulfite
Sodium Metabisulfite: A Versatile and Essential Compound This remarkable compound appears as a white or yellow crystalline powder, exuding a strong sulfur dioxide (SO2) odor. With a specific gravity of 1.4, it boasts impressive water solubility, resulting in an acidic aqueous solution. When interacting with strong acids, it releases SO2 to form corresponding salts. Exposure to air induces oxidation, thus needing careful storage. Comprising Na2S2O5, it requires short-term storage only. At temperatures above 150°C, it decomposes to release SO2.
