Abstract
In this experiment, the sulfite in white wine samples is quantified by coulometric titration with iodine, using a procedure that minimizes errors due to air oxidation. Some aspects of the distinction of S(IV) forms in such matrices are discussed on the basis of the formation of adducts between sulfite and carbonyl compounds present in the wine. The reactivity of these S(IV)-bound compounds toward the reaction with iodine is addressed and the stability of the adducts as the sample pH is changed is discussed.
