Sulphur dioxide bleaches colouring matter by :
-
- Reduction
- Dehydration
- Decomposition
- Oxidation

Sulphur dioxide gas exhibits bleaching properties in presence of moisture. It dissolves in water liberating nascent hydrogen. Nascent hydrogen removes oxygen atoms from the colouring matter (reduces colouring matter) and it loses its colour.
