Why oxygen levels in beverage cans matter?
Controlling the amount of oxygen in cans is crucial for beverages. Too high levels can result in an altered taste and color, or lead to can corrosion. Continuous quality checks, high-quality internal linings, and dissolved oxygen (DO) management protect product integrity and prevent financial losses including consumer dissatisfaction.
Aluminum beverage cans are a staple in the beverage industry due to their lightweight, cost-efficiency, and recyclability. However, they face one significant challenge: corrosion. Corrosion in aluminum cans can lead to product leaks, beverage metal uptake, and thereby loss of revenue and even damaged relationships with retailers and consumers. Understanding how corrosion occurs, the factors causing it, and how it can be prevented is essential for maintaining product integrity. Corrosion and oxidation of beverages in aluminum cans is a manageable issue. Nevertheless, it requires careful attention to can lining and beverage production processes, including oxygen control.
