总亚硫酸检测试剂盒, Total Sulfite Assay Kit (Enzymatic),货号：K-ETSULPH

Sulphur dioxide (SO2) is used widely as an additive in various forms, mostcommonly as sulphites (or sulfites), in the wine, beverage and food industrieswhere it acts primarily as an antimicrobial and antioxidant preservative.During wine making, sulphites are used as an essential additive, usuallyat post-malolactic fermentation, in the control of contamination byBrettanomyces during ageing and to also protect the wine againstdetrimental “oxidative and enzymatic browning”. SO2 is only activeas an antimicrobial and antioxidant preservative in the unbound“free” form. Given that SO2 becomes “inactive” when it binds thecolour pigments of wine, and with legal restrictions on SO2 levels inwine, it has become valuable to wine producers to measure both theFree SO2 and Total SO2. In addition to this, due to the increasedawareness of the adverse effects of sulphites and the prevalenceof sulphite intolerance in some individuals, sulphite levels in foodsand drinks are strictly regulated by various governing bodies andtherefore there is a requirement for accurate determination of thelevel of sulphites in foods, beverages and wines.

This kit (K-ETSULPH) is suitable for the specific measurement of “TotalSulphite” as SO2 in wines, beverages, foodstuffs and other materials.
