Discover Premium Economical Food Preservatives: Sodium Metabisulfite - Your Essential Ingredient for Freshness!
Sodium Metabisulfite Sodium metabisulfite, a versatile compound, appears as a white or yellow crystalline powder or small crystal with a distinctive, strong SO2 aroma. It boasts a specific gravity of 1.4 and readily dissolves in water, creating an acidic aqueous solution. Upon contact with strong acids, it liberates SO2 to form corresponding salts. Notably, when exposed to air, it undergoes oxidation and involves Na2S2O5, making prolonged storage unfeasible. At temperatures exceeding 150 degrees Celsius, it decomposes, releasing SO2.
