INTERNATIONAL ŒNOLOGICAL CODEX Potassium Bisulfite E-COEI

INTERNATIONAL ŒNOLOGICAL CODEX Potassium Bisulfite COEI-1-POTBIS: 2000 POTASSIUM HYDROGEN SULFITE Potassium bisulfite Potassium acid sulfite KHSO3 = 120.2 SIN No. 228 (Oeno 38/2000) 1. OBJECTIVE, ORIGIN AND SCOPE OF APPLICATION Potassium hydrogen sulfite is used in oenology because of the proportion of sulfur dioxide it contains. 2. LABELING The label should indicate the weight per liter or per kilogram of sulfur dioxide and the storage and safety conditions. There are regulatory limits restricting the sulfur dioxide content in wines. 3. CENTESIMAL COMPOSITION SO2 53.30 K 32.53 4. PROPERTIES Potassium hydrogen sulfite is found in the form of a colorless or slightly yellow solution obtained by passing a current sulfur dioxide through an aqueous potassium hydroxide solution. Potassium hydrogen sulfite solutions used in wine-making usually contain between 281 and 375 g/l potassium hydrogen sulfite, these values corresponding to 150 to 200 g/l sulfur dioxide. 5. IDENTIFYING CHARACTERISTICS Potassium hydrogen sulfite solutions yield reactions of potassium and sulfur dioxide and are slightly acidic (pH of approximately 5). 6. TESTS The tests are identical to those detailed in the monograph on potassium anhydrous sulfite, as are the limiting content levels for lead, mercury, iron, arsenic, selenium and chlorides. E-COEI-1-POTBIS 1 INTERNATIONAL ŒNOLOGICAL CODEX Potassium Bisulfite COEI-1-POTBIS: 2000 7. QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS Place 50 ml of cold water in a 200 ml conical flask, then add 5 ml of potassium hydrogen sulfite solution. Dilute so that the solution has a concentration of approximately 1 pp 100 SO2 and titrate with 0.1M iodine in the presence of starch. Let n be the volume of iodine used. The sulfur dioxide (SO2) content of the solution, expressed in pp 100 (m/v), is 0.64 x n (concentration cannot be less than 150 g/l). 8. STORAGE Potassium hydrogen sulfite solutions containing more than 15 pp 100 (m/v) of sulfur dioxide must not be stored at low temperatures, in order to avoid the risk of crystallization.

EAFUS: a Food Additive Database
U. S. Food and Drug Administration Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition Office of Premarket Approval EAFUS: A Food Additive Database This is an informational database maintained by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN) under an ongoing program known as the Priority-based Assessment of Food Additives (PAFA). It contains administrative, chemical and toxicological information on over 2000 substances directly added to food, including substances regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as direct, "secondary" direct, and color additives, and Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) and prior-sanctioned substances. In addition, the database contains only administrative and chemical information on less than 1000 such substances. The more than 3000 total substances together comprise an inventory often referred to as "Everything" Added to Food in the United States (EAFUS). This list of substances contains ingredients added directly to food that FDA has either approved as food additives or listed or affirmed as GRAS. Nevertheless, it contains only a partial list of all food ingredients that may in fact be lawfully added to food, because under federal law some ingredients may be added to food under a GRAS determination made independently from the FDA. The list contains many, but not all, of the substances subject to independent GRAS determinations. The list below is an alphabetical inventory representing only five of 196 fields in FDA/CFSAN's PAFA database. To obtain the entire database, including abstractions of over 7,000 toxicology studies performed on substances added to food as well as a search engine to locate desired information, order Food Additives: Toxicology, Regulation, and Properties, available in CD-ROM format from CRC Press.

Opinion of the SCCNFP on Inorganic Sulfites and Bisulfites
SCCNFP/0648/03, final THE SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE ON COSMETIC PRODUCTS AND NON-FOOD PRODUCTS INTENDED FOR CONSUMERS OPINION CONCERNING INORGANIC SULFITES AND BISULFITES COLIPA n° P51 Adopted by the SCCNFP during the 23rd plenary meeting of 18 March 2003 SCCNFP/0648/03, final Evaluation and opinion on : inorganic sulfites and bisulfites ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 1. Terms of Reference 1.1 Context of the question The Cosmetic Directive 76/768/EEC, adopted on 27 July 1976 (published OJEC on 27 September 1976) has been amended six times and at present covers more than 25 adaptations to technical progress. Technical Annexes (II – VII) are a set of lists, qualifying the use of certain ingredients for the safety of the final preparation. In Annex VI, a positive list of preservatives which may be used is laid down. Besides the intended use as a preservative some of these substances are also destined “for other uses”, mostly in other concentrations as for preservative purposes. These substances are marked by (+). At present 26 different substances are listed in Annex VI with(+) “other uses” in addition. In order to guarantee consumer’s health protection and safety of the respective products and following the 6th amendment to the Cosmetic Directive 76/768/EEC - document 93/35/EEC (14 June 1993) - those already evaluated substances have to be judged concerning the “other uses” (+) separately, especially related to the toxicological characteristics of the probably different concentration applied in the other uses than as listed as preservative (Annex VI). In order to fulfil these demands a special submission (I) for inorganic sulfites and bisulfites describing appropriate investigations and their results has been presented for an evaluation.
