Discover the Premium Economical Food Preservatives: Sodium Metabisulfite
Sodium Metabisulfite This remarkable substance presents as a white or yellow crystalline powder or small crystal, distinguished by its strong SO2 odor. With a specific gravity of 1.4, it exhibits high solubility in water, forming an acidic aqueous solution. Upon contact with strong acids, it liberates SO2 and forms a corresponding salt. Exposure to air leads to oxidation, and due to its chemical composition, Na2S2O5, it demands careful storage as it cannot be preserved for extended periods. Notably, at temperatures above 150 degrees Celsius, it decomposes by releasing SO2.
