Description and Uses

Sodium Metabisulfite is a preservative and antioxidant that exists as crystals or powder having a sulfur dioxide odor. it is readily solu- ble in water. it is used in dried fruits to preserve flavor, color, and to inhibit undesirable microorganism growth. it prevents “black spots” due to oxidative deterioration in shrimp. it is used in maraschino cherries. it is found in lemon drinks as a preservative. see sulfur dioxide.
