Does it influence how soda tastes? According to a 2014 study published by the American Chemical Society, soda cans can actually impart flavor. Those compounds can be absorbed in the canned polymer lining, altering slightly the taste of any soda placed there.
Conversely, glass bottles (they lack such a lining) are speculated to deliver truer-tasting results. An even bigger gap appeared in a survey by Consumer Reports, which found that 62% of respondents preferred soda from glass bottles to aluminum cans. The secret to this lack of preference is not only psychological, but also related to chemistry. Can linings are made of polymers that can interact with acidic sodas; this process may alter the flavor of the beverage over time.
As the top soda manufacturer, Coca-Cola has run its own taste tests and detected a subtle difference. The aluminum can: They also say, the lining of the cans for self-serve soda fountains sometimes adds a metallic taste, especially if stored clear wrapping at an angle over time.
Bill Coors, chairman of the now Molson-Coors Brewing Company in Golden Colorado states with contempt “The can is an efficient package but it will never be able to replicate the pure taste experience that you get from a glass. These are points not lost on many in the beverage trade.
Temperature also changes the way soda interacts with a can's lining, a study published in Journal of Food Science showed. If a user purchases cannabis and decides to store it away from direct sunlight or high temperatures, put into cold storage allows the decipherment of flavors that are much deeper than taste profile catalogs.
There are variances on a tiny scale that might not be noticeable to certain consumers, but they should certainly impact the flavor of those soda aficionados and connoisseursQNUTC. Pepsi etc recognise this and are continuing to invest in can linings that will however remove any taste modification.
Yes, in general -it affects the taste of Soda to some extend and a bottle versus can is different category(frames), simply summarizing! Science backs this phenomenon up & so do industry experts - the soda cans we pop open can tweak our favorite drinks' flavor profiles in a genuinely subtle way.
