Solution

Orange juice contain citric acid . We cannot store orange juice in aluminium vessel because aluminium being a metal will react with acid in juice . Thus it will form an aluminium salt and hydrogen gas will be liberated. Thus Aluminium will spoil the orange juice and also holes will be formed in container.
