Table 3.
Aluminum uptake and the resultant percentage of TWI
Coffee | Test conditions | Mean concentration (mg/L) | Aluminum uptake adult (mg/week)b | Percentage to TWI adult |
---|---|---|---|---|
First brew | Al-pot (n = 9) | 0.564a | 1.97 | 2.81 |
Stainless steel pot (n = 3) | 0.150 | 0.525 | 0.750 | |
Third brew | Al-pot (n = 9) | 0.133a | 0.469 | 0.670 |
Stainless steel pot (n = 3) | 0.018 | 0.063 | 0.090 | |
Sixth brew | Al-pot (n = 9) | 0.795a | 2.79 | 3.98 |
Stainless steel (n = 3) | 0.278 | 0.973 | 1.39 |
aThe values shown are the arithmetic means of the results of three repetitions for each of three brands of moka pot
bThe weekly uptake is based on an adult weighing 70 kg and a daily uptake of 500 mL coffee over a time period of 1 week (7 days)
