Effects of sodium chloride, acetic acid and citric acid on the dissolution of aluminum from aluminum cooking utensils.

Assessment of Aluminium Residues in Meat Cooked in Aluminium Utensils

“…Aluminium dissolves faster into acidic foods than into basic foods, it was always unwise to cook acidic foods like tomatoes, tea and coffee in Al vessels (Hiranandani's, 2007). The Al elution in the presence of sodium chloride was distinctly accelerated by heating; dissolution of Al was enhanced by addition of sodium chloride but it was reduced by the presence of proteins, amino acid, sugar and cholesterol (Matsushima., et al, 1990). In this respect, Wen (1991) suggested that Fe3+ and NaCl being able to promote aluminium leaching.…”

Trace Elements in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease

“…Aluminum exposure may result from contamination of domestic water due to treatment with aluminum salts used to precipitate particulate matter to improve water clarity appearance, 63 and from leaching from aluminumcoated cooking utensils. 64 In addition some patients with CKD may be prescribed aluminum-containing medicines, not only as phosphate binders but also antacids. Aluminum accumulation leads to aluminum deposition in bone, resulting in reduced bone mineralization and osteomalacia.…”
