INTRODUCTION
Growth of microorganisms in a food
material can be inhibited by adding certain
chemical substances. However the chemical
substances should not be harmful to human
beings. Such chemical substances which are
added to food materials to prevent their
spoilage
are
known
as
chemical
preservatives. In our country, two chemical
preservatives which are permitted for use
are:
H2O(l) + SO2(g)
Initiatives
reports that this product
works to
prevent the growth of mould,
yeast and bacteria in foods. It is also an
additive
for
homemade wine. Potassium
bisulphite is found in some cold drinks
and fruit juice concentrates. Sulphites are
common
preservatives
in
smoked or
processed meats and dried fruits. In spray
form, it may help prevent foods from
discolouring or browning.
AIM
The aim of this project is to study the
effect of potassium bisulphite as food
preservative.

THEORY
Food materials undergo natural changes due
to temperature, time and enzymatic action
and become unfit for consumption. These
changes may be checked by adding small
amounts of potassium bisulphite. The
effectiveness of KHSO3 as preservative
depends upon its concentration under different
conditions which may be determined
experimentally. An ideal method of food
preservation has the following characteristics:
