The invention relates to a quick detection method for
sulfur dioxide in food. The quick detection method comprises the steps of firstly, preprocessing a sample to be tested, carrying out ultrasonic extraction by adopting an aqueous alkali; then adding water and an acid solution into a distilling flask, connecting the distilling flask with a condensing device, placing an outlet of a condensing
pipe into a
starch solution added with a small quantity of titrating solution, and finally heating the distilling flask, wherein because
sulfur dioxide contained in the sample to be tested can be released from the distilling flask in a heating process and the
starch solution added with a small quantity of titrating solution flows through the condensing
pipe, the light blue
starch solution fades; continuing to dropwise adding a titrating solution until the light blue of the
starch solution does not fade, thus judging a
titration end point, so as to calculate the content of the
sulfur dioxide in the sample to be tested through calculating the consumption quantity of the titrating solution when the
titration end point is reached. The quick detection method is simple, is capable of performing qualitative and quantitative detection on the content of the
sulfur dioxide in the sample to be tested, accurate in detection result and free of harmful effects to the environment and the detection personnel; the end point is easily judged.
