Abstract
The coatings on aluminum beverage can lid interiors can be prone to long-term degradation due to the high impact forces during fabrication and the corrosive nature of beverages. Multi-month tests are required to assess their resistance to this degradation. This study aims to present an innovative can lid coating testing method that incorporates in-situ Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) monitoring under real-world conditions and with actual beverages. A robust testing chamber was meticulously engineered to house the 3D-shaped lid and maintain the conditions found in a beverage can. Experiments were conducted at stressed and non-stressed conditions, assessing different coatings and different beverages. The developed method has the potential to mimic the multi-month pack tests and offers a quicker, more insightful, and less laborious alternative for the lid coating degradation assessment. Ultimately, this method could help in improving the longevity and quality of aluminum beverage cans.
期刊介绍:
Food packaging is crucial for preserving food integrity throughout the distribution chain. It safeguards against contamination by physical, chemical, and biological agents, ensuring the safety and quality of processed foods. The evolution of novel food packaging, including modified atmosphere and active packaging, has extended shelf life, enhancing convenience for consumers. Shelf life, the duration a perishable item remains suitable for sale, use, or consumption, is intricately linked with food packaging, emphasizing its role in maintaining product quality and safety.
