National food safety standard - Determination of sulfur
dioxide in foods
1 Scope
This document specifies the determination method of sulfur dioxide in foods.
Method One. Acid-base titration method is applicable to the determination of sulfur
dioxide in foods. Method Two is Spectrophotometry. Direct extraction method is
suitable for the determination of sulfur dioxide in white sugar and white sugar products,
starch and starch products and raw wet flour products. Nitrogen-filled steam extraction
method is suitable for the determination of sulfur dioxide in wine and brown sugar.
Method Three. Ion chromatography is applicable to the determination of sulfur dioxide
in foods.
Method One -- Acid-base titration method
2 Principle
Use nitrogen-filled steaming method to treat the specimen. After the specimen is
acidified, under heating conditions, a series of substances such as sulfites release sulfur
dioxide. Use hydrogen peroxide solution to absorb the distillate. Sulfur dioxide is
dissolved in the absorption liquid and oxidized to form sulfuric acid. Use standard
sodium hydroxide solution to titrate. Calculate the content of sulfur dioxide in the
specimen according to the consumption of sodium hydroxide standard solution.

5 Analysis steps
5.1 Specimen pretreatment
5.1.1 Liquid specimen
Take specimens of beer, wine, fruit wine, other fermented wine, prepared wine, and
beverages. The sampling volume shall be greater than 1L. For packaging specimens
such as bagged specimens and bottled specimens, at least 3 packages (same batch or
number) shall be collected. Put all liquids in one container. Mix well. Seal and mark for
testing.
5.1.2 Solid specimen
Take specimens of grain processed products, solid condiments, biscuits, potato products,
candy products (including chocolate and products), substitute tea, pickled vegetables,
dried vegetable products, edible mushroom products, other vegetable products, candied
fruit, dried fruit products, roasted seeds and nuts and nut products (baked, fried, other),
sugar, dried aquatic products, cooked animal aquatic products, edible starch, starch
products, starch sugar, non-fermented soy products, vegetables, fruits, seawater
products, raw and dried nuts and seeds.
5.1.3 Semi-fluid specimen
For packaging specimens such as bagged specimens and bottled specimens, at least 3
packages (same lot or number) need to be collected.
5.2 Specimen determination
Take 20g~100g of solid or semi-fluid specimen (to the nearest of 0.01g; the sampling
amount depends on the content). Take 20mL(g)~200mL(g) of liquid specimen. Place
the weighed specimen in the round bottom flask A in Figure A.1.Add 200mL~500mL
of water. Install the device. Turn on the switch of the reflux condenser to supply water
(condensate temperature < 15°C). Place the glass tube connected to the port E at the
upper end of the condenser tube at the bottom of the 100mL conical flask. Add 50mL
of 3% hydrogen peroxide solution to the conical flask as the absorption solution (the
end of the glass tube shall be below the liquid level of the absorption solution). Add 3
drops of 2.5g/L methyl red ethanol solution indicator to the absorption solution.
6 Presentation of analysis results
The content of sulfur dioxide in the specimen is calculated according to formula (1).
7 Precision

under repeatability conditions shall not exceed 10% of the arithmetic mean.
8 Detection limit and quantification limit

The sample is directly soaked in methyl acetate buffer absorbent or nitrogen-filling with
acid and steamed-released sulfur dioxide is absorbed by the formaldehyde solution.
