Premium Economical Food Preservatives: Sodium Metabisulfite
Sodium Metabisulfite Sodium Metabisulfite is a white or yellow crystalline powder, known for its distinct, robust sulfur dioxide (SO2) odor. With a specific gravity of 1.4, it dissolves effortlessly in water, rendering an acidic aqueous solution. When sodium metabisulfite encounters a strong acid, it releases SO2 to form a corresponding salt. Exposure to air leads to its oxidation. The chemical formula is Na2S2O5, indicating that it is not suitable for prolonged storage. At temperatures above 150 degrees Celsius, SO2 decomposes, releasing sulfur dioxide.
