Sulfur or sulphur) is the element (S). Sulfites (also sulphites) are compounds that contain the sulfite ion (SO2−3)
Sulfur is a chemical element found in nature, while sulfites are chemical compounds containing sulfur. Sulfur itself is not harmful to health, but sulfites can cause allergic reactions in some people, especially those with asthma. Sulfites are commonly used as preservatives in foods and can pose a risk to food safety if not properly regulated and labeled.
Macrodantin does not contain sulfur or sulfites. It contains the active ingredient nitrofurantoin, which is an antibiotic used to treat urinary tract infections.
sulfites
No, sulfa refers to a group of antibiotics containing sulfonamides, while sulfites are sulfur-based compounds used as preservatives in foods and beverages. They serve different purposes and have distinct chemical compositions.
Yes, they are.
yes -- grapes have sulfites them selves and they use sulfites in the drying process so all dried fruits have sulfites !!! unless there is some new health food type or brand that i don't know about ??? ------------ 1. The content of sulfites in raisins depends on the type. Not all raisins contain sulfites. 2. The drying process involve sometimes sulfur dioxide. 3. Wines contain sulfites but in not dangerous concentrations.
No, sulfites do not contain iodine. Sulfites are a group of chemical compounds containing sulfur and oxygen often used as preservatives in foods and beverages, while iodine is a separate chemical element found in nature and used in some disinfectants and medications.
No, sulfur dioxide (SO2) is not the same as a sulfite. Sulfur dioxide is a gas while sulfite is a chemical compound that contains the sulfite ion (SO3^2-). Sulfur dioxide can react with water to form sulfite ions.
some wines and balsamic vinegars naturally produce it during the fermentation process. However many are added, because sulfites are a form of sulfur, and sulfur is naturally an anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, which is perfect for preserving foods and wine.
Brimstone is an older name for sulfur, but it's the same! :)
From the sulfur sprinkled on grapes shortly before harvesting. It becomes part of the wine, and any vineyard that practices this must also label their wine "contains sulfites"
No, sulfur dioxide is a gas with the formula SO2 Sulfite is an ion with the formula (SO32-). It occurs along side some sort of positive ion to balance its negative charge. These compounds, called sulfites, can form when sulfur dioxide, an acidic oxide, reacts with basic oxides. Most metal oxides are basic.
