Sulpher Dioxide in Foods ■ Sulfuring: The process by which sulfite is applied to food. • The sulfite in diet occurs mainly as food preservative.
Sulpher Dioxide in Foods ■ Application of Sulfuring in food industry: • As antimicrobial agents. • To preserve colors of various products. • Preserve dried fruits.
Sulpher Dioxide in Foods ■ The source of sulfite additives include: 1. ► Na2S2O5 ► CaH2O6S2 ► KHSO3 ► NH4 bisulfite. 2. Exposure to fumes of burning sulfer.
Sulpher Dioxide in Foods ■ Preservative Toxicity: • Preservative reacts with sulfydryl groups, aldehyde, ketone, enzyme bound NAD-FAD. • Preservative reacts with thiamine in food • People suffering asthma cannot tolerate sulfite
