Sulfites used in food processing (but not as a preservative) are required to be listed if they are not incidental additives (21 CFR 101.100(a)(3)), and if there are more than 10 ppm in the finished product (21 CFR 101.100(a)(4)) On July 8, 1986, sodium bisulfite (and other sulfites : "The chemicals affected by the order are sulfur dioxide ...
Colour retention agents are food additives that are added to food to prevent the colour from changing. Many of them work by absorbing or binding to oxygen before it can damage food (antioxidants). For example, ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is often added to brightly coloured fruits such as peaches during canning. [citation needed]
The sulfite ion is the conjugate base of bisulfite. Although its acid (sulfurous acid) is elusive, [1] its salts are widely used. Sulfites are substances that naturally occur in some foods and the human body. They are also used as regulated food additives. [2] When in food or drink, sulfites are often lumped together with sulfur dioxide. [3]
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is for the first time setting guidelines for levels of lead in processed baby foods such as jarred fruits and vegetables. Part of an effort to reduce exposure ...
The bisulfite ion (IUPAC-recommended nomenclature: hydrogensulfite) is the ion HSO − 3. Salts containing the HSO − 3 ion are also known as "sulfite lyes". [1] Sodium bisulfite is used interchangeably with sodium metabisulfite (Na 2 S 2 O 5). Sodium metabisulfite dissolves in water to give a solution of Na + HSO − 3. Na 2 S 2 O 5 + H 2 O ...
