The benefits of using sulphur dioxide in food preservation

Sulphur dioxide is a strong antioxidant and the  largest  use of sulphur dioxide by far is  for preservation of food such as  fruits, vegetables (including potatoes  and mushrooms), fresh shrimp and lobster. This  antioxidant  effect preserves the color, flavor and nutritional value of countless food items to help prevent them  from spoiling or  going  stale.  Using sulphur dioxide in food preservation can also  help store it longer without spoilage  while providing  consumers with a safe, palatable product.

Sulphur dioxide is an important preservative in winemaking, and is the major ingredient of Campden tablets or Campden powder used to preserve wine. Winemakers can control fermentation  and stop off-flavors from developing by introducing sulphur dioxide to grapes, juice or wine at various points in the winemaking  process,  while maintaining its aroma. It makes sure that the end product is of high quality  and can be appreciated by wine lovers from all over the  world.
