Potassium Metabisulfite 3 %
Potassium metabisulfite 3% is a solution characterized by its wide range of applications, especially in the food industry, chemical analysis and environmental science. The special suitability of potassium metabisulfite solution lies in its ability to act as an antioxidant, preservative and reducing agent.
Chemically, the solution consists of 3% potassium disulfite in distilled water, making it a stable, easy-to-handle and dilutable solution. Potassium metabisulfite, also known as potassium disulfite, is a salt of sulfurous acid and has the ability to act as a strong reducing agent by readily splitting off sulfur dioxide.
The functioning of potassium metabisulfite is based on its reducing property, which makes it possible to prevent undesirable oxidation processes that can, for example, lead to a deterioration in food quality. In chemical analysis and environmental sciences, potassium metabisulfite is often used to reduce chromate or dichromate ions to enable their determination in water samples.
Although potassium metabisulfite is less common in histology, medical diagnostics and life sciences, it can also find applications in these fields, for example as a reducing agent in certain biochemical assays or as an antioxidant to stabilize sensitive biomolecules.
