What is Potassium Metabisulphite? Also known as potassium pyrosulfite, it is a white crystalline powder with a pungent sulphurous odour. It's primarily used as a preservative, antioxidant, and chemical sterilant in various applications, including food and beverage production, winemaking, and water treatment. In winemaking, it's used to inhibit the growth of wild yeasts and bacteria, effectively preventing spoilage. It also acts as an antioxidant, improving the physical stability and shelf life of beer and wine.
