For wine and beer:
* '''Sulfite''' -  Reduced pre-fermentation [[sulfite]] usage has been shown to reduce formation of sulfide.<ref name="Hallinan"/><ref name="Jiranek"/><ref name="Jiranek2002"/> Brewers that use sulfite (e.g. [[low oxygen brewing]]) need to adequately aerate/oxygenate the wort to neutralize the residual sulfite when pitching. (See [[Sulfite]]) In presence of [[lees]], it is recommended to wait at least two weeks before adding sulfite after fermentation.<ref name="Enartis">[https://www.enartis.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Prevention-and-Treatment-of-Reductive-Aromas.pdf Prevention and treatment of reductive aromas.] Enartis News.

* '''Sulfite''' -  The presence of [[sulfite]] at the beginning of fermentation has been shown to cause formation of H<sub>2</sub>S.<ref name=Hallinan/><ref name=Jiranek/><ref name=Jiranek2002/> Brewers that use sulfite in the wort (i.e. [[low oxygen brewing|low oxygen brewers]]) need to adequately aerate/oxygenate the wort to neutralize the residual sulfite when pitching. For wine stabilization, it is recommended to wait at least two weeks before adding sulfite after fermentation ends, particularly when the yeast is still present.<ref name=Enartis>[https://www.enartis.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Prevention-and-Treatment-of-Reductive-Aromas.pdf Prevention and treatment of reductive aromas.] Enartis News.

* '''Aeration''' - Adding oxygen before pitching yeast is especially important in affecting nitrogen utilization and fermentation vigor, which increases the amount of sulfide stripping from the wine or beer.<ref name="Jiranek"/><ref name="Jiranek2002"/> In wine production, aerating during fermentation is also helpful.<ref>Bekker MZ, Day MP, Holt H, Wilkes E, Smith PA.

* '''Yeast strain''' - Low sulfide-producing and/or low nitrogen-requirement yeast strains may be considered.<ref name="Jiranek2002"/> This is easier said than done since the propensity to over-produce sulfide is not well characterized for most yeast strains.
