Sulphur dioxide and its sulphite salts are used to inhibit some microbes and oxidation and to keep colour in fruit and wine. They are added as sulphur fumes, as sulphites or as metabisulphites.

Campden tablets portion a metabisulfite salt for particular wine, cider or other fermentation uses. Tablet strength and the resulting free sulfur dioxide depend on the product and liquid.
