Dear Tilak
It is likely the method you are using is not specific for sulphite so you are measuring somethng else and there is no sulphite in your samples. What you are measuring can be considered as a 'blank'.

Subject: sulphite in shrimps.
colleagues,
we are doing a study to find out residual sulphite levels in wild caught shrimps.we found that most samples
were positive.we have taken care to verify that no sample was treated with any chemicals or additves.
we are still continueing our studies.based on our current reports we found that, though in very low levels
residual sulphites are present in shrimps naturally.
I would like to get your valuable comments and
further information on the subject.
my good wishes and thanks to all.
