Potassium metabisulphite (E224)

Potassium metabisulphite, known as the “guardian of wine”, is a white crystalline powder of rough, sulfur odor.

It serves as an antioxidant or chemical sterilizator. It is also used as a food additive.

Potassium metabisulphite is very common addition to wine, in which it forms SO2
which prevents growth of wild organisms and acts as a powerful antioxidant, protecting the color and delicate flavor of wine.

It is also used to clean wine-making equipment. In production of beer, it prevents growth of wild yeasts, bacteria and fungi in a process called stabilization.

It is also used to neutralize chloramines added to tap water as a disinfectant.

... It is used as a food additive, also known as E224.[1] It is restricted in use and may cause severe allergic reactions in sensitive persons.[2]

Potassium is an inhibitor of the polyphenol oxidase enzyme.[3] http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_metabisulfite

Peer comment(s):

agree Mark Daniels : Agree, if you buy "vinobran" you will always get E224 - it's not just used for wine, that's just what it's known as.
