Sulfites or sulphites are compounds that contain the sulfite ion SO 3 2â . The sulfite ion is the conjugate base of bisulfite. Although its acid (sulfurous acid) is elusive, its salts are widely used.Sulfites are substances that naturally occur in some foods and the human body.ulfites are used as a food preservative or enhancer. They may come in various forms, such as: 1  Sulfur dioxide, which is not a sulfite, but a closely related chemical oxide. 2  Potassium bisulfite or potassium metabisulfite.
Sulfates and sulfites are chemicals that may sound similar, yet in reality they are two different compounds.Sulfites are used in food to help preserve them for longer periods of time. As is the case, they can be a true problem for those suffering from asthma.teel mills, pulp mills, mines, tanneries, and other such institutions expel sulfates into the air, water, and land. For our purposes, sulfites are also sulfur containing chemicals, but they are simply used as food preservatives. Thus, sulfates and sulfites are not the same.
