- ADDED MINERAL CHEMICALS FOR PACKAGED DRINKING WATER
Added mineral chemicals for packaged drinking water are food-grade compounds used to enhance the taste, quality, and nutritional value of water after purification processes like reverse osmosis (RO), which often strip water of essential minerals. These additives restore minerals, regulate pH, and improve hydration and health benefits.
Pack Size : 5 kg, 25 kg & 50 kg
Packaged drinking water often has minerals added to enhance taste, improve hydration, and provide health benefits.
Calcium: Supports bone health and adds a refreshing taste. Typically found in concentrations of 10 mg/L, depending on the brand.
Magnesium: Aids muscle function, heart health, and nerve function, contributing a slight sweetness. Levels 5 mg/L in some waters.
Potassium: Helps maintain electrolyte balance and hydration, providing a smooth finish. Concentrations vary but are often lower than calcium or magnesium.
Sodium: Present in some waters, but high levels (e.g., 4,000–6,000 mg/day in diet) can contribute to hypertension, so it’s often minimized in packaged water for health-conscious consumers.
Purpose of Adding Minerals
Taste Enhancement: Minerals like calcium, magnesium, and potassium improve the flavor profile, making water more palatable (e.g., calcium adds a refreshing taste, magnesium a slight sweetness).
Health Benefits: These minerals support essential bodily functions:
Calcium: Bone health, muscle function, and blood pressure regulation.
Magnesium: Muscle and nerve function, heart health, and energy production.
Potassium: Electrolyte balance, hydration, and heart function.
pH Regulation: Additives like bicarbonates maintain optimal pH levels (typically 6.5–8.5) to prevent corrosion of pipes and ensure water stability.
Remineralization: RO and other filtration processes remove beneficial minerals, so these chemicals are added to restore nutritional value.
