It has been reported that acid gelatinous foodstuffs can attack aluminium very rapidly.This has been confirmed for synthetic solutions simulating these foods. By changing onevariable at a time it has been shown that the corrosion is strongly affected by the type of acid present, the pH of the solution and the gelatine concentration. The results are discussed but it is not possible to postulate a corrosion mechanism.
