Abstract:Metabisulfite anion is widely used as an antioxidant agent and preservative of anumber of industrialized products. The interaction of this agent with pararosaniline dye can reduce the absorption band of the pigment within the visible area. From the best experimental conditions such as Britton-Robinson buffer solution, pH 5.0, and dye in a solution of 1.0x10-4 mol L-1, it was possible to obtain a relation between concentration of metabisulfite and absorbance in a range from 1,3x10-6 mol L-1 to 3.0x10-5 mol L-1.… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
