Aluminium migration into beverages: Are dented cans safe?

Aluminium (Al) migration from cans to beer and tea was studied along time. Analyses of Al in the canned drinks were performed till the sell-by date, and, in seven months, aluminium migration was found to increase 0.14 mg L − 1 in beer, and 0.6 mg L − 1 in tea. This study included dented cans from wh...

Zusammenfassung:Aluminium (Al) migration from cans to beer and tea was studied along time. Analyses of Al in the canned drinks were performed till the sell-by date, and, in seven months, aluminium migration was found to increase 0.14 mg L − 1 in beer, and 0.6 mg L − 1 in tea. This study included dented cans from which aluminium migration into tea was found to be particularly severe. Al concentration in dented canned tea increased 9.6 mg L − 1 in seven months.
