Uses and analysis of sulfites in the corn wet milling industry. 1986

L E Coker

This paper reviews the purpose and principal uses of sulfiting agents in corn wet milling, together with the residual levels of sulfiting agents in finished products. Comparative results of the Monier-Williams method, an iodometric method, and a pararosaniline method for sulfur dioxide are discussed.
