Welk voordeel heeft zwaveldioxide (SO2) ten opzichte van chelatoren

volgens Johnblood27?

Johnblood27 wrote: 25-Nov-2013 at 20:16:19 (GMT) Use of chelation to bind iron and reduce oxidative damage to wines is all well and good, but sulfur dioxide is used for more than oxidation control. The property of microbial inhibition by the "molecular" SO2 level and subsequent wine preservation would be compromised. With the non-sterile nature of wine production the removal of SO2 from the process would increase the microbial risk of spoilage in bottled wines substantially. I would caution against too much celebration of wine oxidative damage being solved by chelation. http://www.wine-searcher.com/m/2013/11/science-serves-up-a-sulfur-substitute
