Abstract

Payasam , also known as Kheer, or payesh is a classic and versatile dessert originating from South India, mainly made from milk combined with an assortment of cereals, grains, or lentils, often including fruits and vegetables. This delightful Indian sweet pudding is usually sweetened with sugar or jaggery and is flavored with spices like cardamom and saffron. Furthermore, many payasams are garnished with dry fruits that have been sautéed in ghee, adding to their luxurious flavor and fragrance. Before serving, payasam is stored in Ever Silver vessels. During this period, these vessels may undergo corrosion due to the components present in payasam. The present study seeks to evaluate the corrosion behavior of Ever Silver vessels in contact with payasam, both with and without sugar. To accomplish this, a polarization study has been performed to assess the corrosion resistance of the Ever Silver electrode in three distinct environments: water, payasam without sugar, and payasam with sugar. The linear polarization resistance of Ever Silver decreases in the following order: water system > payasam without sugar system > payasam with sugar system. The corrosion resistance also decreases in the same order. The study indicates that the corrosion resistance of Ever Silver vessels used for storing payasam diminishes when sugar is present. Consequently, it is advisable not to store sugar-containing payasam in Ever Silver vessels for extended periods.
