(PMS) Potassium Metabisulphite, 1kg
COMPOSITION Potassium metabisulphate (E 224). CHARACTERISTICS The effectiveness achieved with the addition of POTASSIUM METABISULPHITE depends on the quantity of molecular sulphur dioxide that develops; in addition to the anti-fermentative action, the product exerts invaluable effects from a technological point of view, including important antioxidant, anti-oxidasic and solvent effects. In the food industry, POTASSIUM METABISULPHITE can be considered "universal" as it is used in a wide range of products.
