Water is essential to life, but it’s the minerals dissolved within that transform it from a neutral solvent to a source of health, taste, and vitality. In the world of packaged drinking water (PDW), achieving the perfect mineral balance is both a science and an art. Our specialized mineral blends enhance not only the taste and mouthfeel of water but also its nutritional profile, ensuring compliance with standards and customer satisfaction.
MINERAL ENRICHMENT IN PDW
Packaged drinking water often undergoes reverse osmosis, which strips water of impurities—but also essential minerals. Re-mineralization is therefore crucial to restore electrolytes and maintain TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) at desirable levels. Our curated blends help you customize TDS, taste, pH, and mineral content—for everything from soft, mildly mineralized water to premium high-TDS health water.
ADVANTAGES OF OUR MINERAL BLENDS
Controlled TDS & pH
Our minerals allow precise control of TDS levels (commonly 50–150 ppm), and can buffer the water’s pH to ideal levels (6.5 to 8.5), depending on the formulation and market requirement.
Taste Profile Optimization
Calcium, magnesium, potassium, and sodium in the right ratios offer a refreshing and balanced taste—neither flat nor bitter. We help dial in the flavour to match consumer expectations or local preferences.
Nutritional Enhancement
Mineral blends can boost water with essential electrolytes like calcium (for bones), magnesium (for muscle and nerve function), and potassium (for heart health).
TECHNICAL INFORMATION
| Mineral | Common Forms | Function in Water | Taste Impact | pH Influence | Typical Dosage (mg/L) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Calcium (Ca²⁺) | Calcium Chloride (CaCl₂), Calcium Carbonate (CaCO₃) | Enhances TDS, supports bone health | Smooth, slightly mineral | Mild alkaline buffer | 10–40 |
| Magnesium (Mg²⁺) | Magnesium Sulfate (MgSO₄), Magnesium Chloride (MgCl₂) | Aids muscle/nerve function, boosts taste | Slightly bitter (if high) | Slightly alkaline | 5–20 |
| Potassium (K⁺) | Potassium Bicarbonate (KHCO₃), Potassium Chloride (KCl) | Electrolyte support, hydration enhancer | Mildly sweet/salty | Mildly alkaline | 1–10 |
