PET container,generally
speaking, the flavour of AA is barely detected during beverage consumption.
Carbonated soft drinks, for example, have very sweet or tangy flavours that
mask the slight taste of the plastic. But
the taste of pure water is not strong enough to mask acetaldehyde, and so
it is easier for the consumer to notice the presence of AA. Consumers rank
taste as the number one criterion when selecting a water brand. Even minor
differences in taste will affect sales.
PET containers form part of
everone's daily life: they contain water and soft drinks but many other
sorts of liquids as well, such as detergents or soap. The main reasons lying
behind the success of PET containers is that, thanks to
the molecular structure of the material set into a web, it is unbreakable.
What is more, PET
packaging is lightweight, transparent and resealable.
Another advantage of the material lies in its physical properties that allow
for great freedom in design. |
