Answer:

We know the taste of pickle is sour. Sour taste is one of the five tastes and is raised by acids. Generally, the sour taste of beverages and foods is because of organic acids such as acetic acid, citric acid, and malic acids present in fruits and vegetables. Therefore, pickle contains acid.

  • We know that copper and aluminium are metals. So, when acid reacts with metal. The metal gets corrode away and salt and hydrogen gas are produced.
  • Pickles are not stored in aluminum and copper utensils because when they kept in copper or aluminum utensils, pickle reacts with copper and aluminium.
  • This reaction could form toxic compounds or toxic salts which may not be good for human consumption. They can cause food poisoning.

Therefore, pickles are not stored in the copper and aluminium utensils.
