Corrosion resistance of Ever Silver vessel in the presence of rasam-a light South Indian traditional soup

Abstract

Food packaging serves purposes of food product safety and easy handling and transport by preventing chemical contamination and enhancing shelf life, which provides convenience for consumers. Various types of materials, including plastics, glass, metals, and papers and their composites, have been used for food packaging. However, owing to consumers’ increased health awareness, the significance of transferring harmful materials from packaging materials into foods is of greater concern. In the present study corrosion resistance of Ever Silver vessel in the absence and presence of rasam recipe, a light South Indian traditional soup made with basic spices, ripe tomatoes, tamarind and herbs. AC impedance spectra have been used to measure the corrosion resistance. It is observed that the corrosion resistance of Ever Silver vessel increases in the presence of rasam recipe. This is due to the presence of various molecules present in the ingredients of rasam. So it is concluded that rasam recipe can be stored in Ever Silver vessel and also rasam can be served in Ever Silver vessel during dining.
