ISO 80113 Sulfite Detection in Dried Vegetables
The ISO 80113 standard specifies a method for determining sulfur dioxide (SO₂) and sulfites content in dried vegetables. This method is critical to ensure that food additives, particularly sulfites used as preservatives, are within safe limits set by regulatory authorities like the European Union and Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Food additives play an essential role in preserving product quality, extending shelf life, enhancing flavor, and improving texture. However, excessive use of sulfites can lead to adverse health effects such as respiratory distress in sensitive individuals. Therefore, accurate detection and quantification are paramount for compliance and safety.
The test procedure outlined in ISO 80113 involves several steps: sample preparation, extraction, analysis using a suitable spectrophotometric method, and calculation of sulfite content based on the absorbance measured against a calibration curve. This process ensures precision and reliability in quantifying sulfites present in dried vegetables.
