Electroanalytical methods for the determination of sulfite in food and beverages

摘要

The detection of sulfite has long held the interest of the analytical community because of the large number or roles that the anion can play within environmental and physiological systems. However, the need to monitor the anion in food and drinks has risen to considerable prominence in recent years, because concerns over its ability to aggravate asthmatic conditions have increased. More restrictive legislative instruments are now being introduced to inform consumers of sulfite content, so small producers must now declare the concentration of the preservative in food produce.
