Its primary use is as a beverage preservative or sterilant (INS No. 242), and acts by inhibiting the enzymes acetate kinase and L-glutamic acid decarboxylase. It has also been proposed that methoxycarbonylation of the histidine part of the enzymes alcohol dehydrogenase and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase by DMDC inhibits these essential enzymes also

In the U.S. the approved its use in wines in 1988, with the maximum permitted level being set at 200 mg/L, and only if there was less than 500 yeast cells/mL at time of dosage. Usage has also been approved in Germany (since 1978) and New Zealand.
