Hydrodynamics, isocurvature and entropy

If I perturb the system, is there any limit in which entropy production of iso-curvature perturbations is negligible? … The reason I ask is that I was reading lecture notes on cosmology and that claimed it was legitimate to treat cosmological iso-curvature as essentially entropy preserving, but I am having trouble imagining …
