Abstract

ABSTRACTA sensitive and selective analytical technique for the determination of free and total sulfites in food was developed using ion chromatography with electrochemical detection. Free and total sulfites in three dehydrated foods were analyzed by extraction of the sulfites at pH 2.0 and 8.9, respectively, and separation on an anion exclusion column with 5 mM H2SO4, pH 2, solution as eluant. Using an electrochemical detector set at + 0.40 volts vs Ag/AgCl electrode, sulfites equivalent to 0.1 ppm SO2 in the extract could be detected with detector response linear up to 6 ppm SO2.
