“…This evolution of Fe and Sn is in agreement with two other studies also made on plain tin cans of fruits (Calloway & McMullen, 1966;Parkar & Rakesh, 2014), where their content increased by up to 12-fold when the storage temperature increased from 37 to 48°C.…”

“…The slow-down of Sn migration after 6 months was also observed with canned mango pulp: This was suspected to be due to oxygen present in the canned food that favors tin corrosion and Sn release at the beginning of storage, the slow-down being explained as the residual oxygen concentration decreases over time (Parkar & Rakesh, 2014).…”

The migration of eight trace elements (Fe, Sn, Cr, Cd, Pb, Ni, Cu, and Zn) was monitored for fruits canned in uncoated tinplate cans under different storage conditions until the shelf life. The levels of most of these elements significantly increased with storage time and were also affected by storage temperature. Particularly, storage at 40°C (simulating sunlight exposure of the cans) caused important release of Sn and Fe so that canned foods did not comply with regulation. Can denting accelerated the migration of several metals, especially Fe and Sn. Moreover, Fe and Sn levels drastically increased in fruits kept in open cans stored in the fridge for a few days. Small pieces of fruits contained higher level of metals than larger ones, and the side seam coating reduced the migration of trace elements. Practical applications Canned fruits are a convenient alternative to fresh fruits to fulfill the nutritional recommendations for a healthy diet. At the same time, canned fruits may be contaminated by several trace metals (particularly tin, lead, and chromium), partly due to their migration from the unlacquered tinplate cans. This study investigates several parameters prone to affect metals migration during fruit cans handling and storage (storage time and temperatures, denting the cans, leaving open cans in the fridge, as well as food brand and fruit type). Proper advice for handling and storing canned fruits is proposed, especially since the low pH and small pieces of fruits may favor metals release and uptake by the food.

“…A similar phenomenon, i.e., an increase in the Al content of canned food, has been observed previously for acidic foodstuffs, for example, orange juice [29]. Relationships between the Al content in isotonic and energy drinks and the examined solutions' acidity was also estimated by calculation of Pearson's linear correlation coefficient (r).…”

Several very popular brands of isotonic and energy drinks consumed for fluid and electrolyte supplementation and stimulation of mental or physical alertness were chosen for investigation. Liquid beverages available in polyethylene bottles and aluminum cans as well as products in the form of tablets and powder in sachets were studied. The total concentrations of 21 elements (Ag, Al, B, Ba, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, Mo, Na, Ni, P, Pb, Sr, Ti, V, and Zn), both essential and toxic, were simultaneously determined in preconcentrated drink samples by inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) equipped with pneumatic and ultrasonic nebulizers. Differences between the mineral compositions of isotonic and energy drinks were evaluated and discussed. The highest content of Na was found in both isotonic and energy drinks, whereas quite high concentrations of Mg were found in isotonic drinks, and the highest amount of calcium was quantified in energy drinks. The concentrations of B, Co, Cu, Ni, and P were higher in isotonic drinks, but energy drinks contained greater quantities of Ag, Cr, Zn, Mn, and Mo and toxic elements, as Cd and Pb. A comparison of element contents with micronutrient intake and tolerable levels was performed to evaluate contribution of the investigated beverages to the daily diet. The consumption of 250 cm(3) of an isotonic drink provides from 0.32% (for Mn) up to 14.8% (for Na) of the recommended daily intake. For the energy drinks, the maximum recommended daily intake fulfillment ranged from 0.02% (for V) to 19.4 or 19.8% (for Mg and Na).

“…According to Arora's research (2000), acidic foods such as tomatoes and tamarind juice with can packaging occur an increase in Fe metal content. Research by Parkar and Rakesh (2014) shows that Fe content increases in cans of orange juice contents with varied time and temperature. Therefore, research on the metal content in food simulants needs to be done because it deals with the migration of packaging components into food products.…”

“…Tin cans are commonly used in products that undergo a thermal sterilization process. The advantages of can packaging are easy packaging, sterilization, delivery, transportation and minimized vitamin loss (Parkar J and Rakesh M, 2014). The disadvantage of can packaging is due to its non-inert property to chemicals which reacts with the environment and the contents causing loss of taste (Setyowati 2000).…”

Cans are widely used as primary packaging in various food products. Ferrous (Fe) and zinc (Zn) metal as the constituent components in the manufacture of can packaging bodies can experience corrosion and dissolve in food so that it will affect food quality and finally affect to health. This study aimed to determine the content of Fe and Zn metal at different treatments (time) with 3% acetic acid and vegetable oil as food simulators on can packaging using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). The results of the analysis showed that the range of Fe and Zn metal content in 3% acetic acid food simulants were respectively 0.15-27.46 mg/kg and 0.0006-0.007 mg/kg, while in vegetable oil simulants 3% Fe and metal content Zn were 0.6-2.46 mg/kg and 0.0004-0.0025 mg/kg with 80-100% recovery, respectively. Thus, food from can packaging should not be exposed to oxygen for a long time, especially when it has been opened because it will increase the leaching of Fe and Zn metals from the packaging into food.
