why pichles not be stor in aluminum utensils?
Answers
Correct question:
Why pickles shouldn't be stored in aluminum containers?
Answer:
Pickles contain acids such as tartaric and citric acids. And aluminum is a metal. So when acids come in contact with metals, then a chemical reaction takes place, wherein the end products are hydrogen gas and metal salts.
Metal salts are toxic for humans, so we shouldn't store pickles in aluminum containers in order to prevent this reaction and prevent spoilage of food.
Moreover pickles shouldn't be stored in any metal container.
Reaction between metals and acids:
Metals + Acids ---> Metal salts + Hydrogen gas
No, we cannot store the pickle in aluminium utensil because aluminium is a metal and citric is acid. The acids react with aluminium to release hydrogen which would spoil the food and render it unfit for use.
