The bleaching action sulphur dioxide is due to its reducing action. The colour of pigment on exposure to SO2 gets reduced to a colourless compound. On standing in an air the colourless reduced product is reoxidised and gain the original colour. Bleaching with sulphur dioxide is therefore of temporary nature.
