ARTIFICIALLY MINERALISED DRINKING WATER, COMPOSITION FOR ITS PREPARATION AND WATER PRODUCTION METHOD Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC A23L2/00 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: artificially mineralised drinking water contains distilled water and water-soluble compounds of magnesium (represented by magnesium sulphate), calcium (represented by calcium citrate), compounds of potassium, zinc and manganese. The compounds of potassium, zinc and manganese are used in the form of sulphates. Magnesium sulphate content is 24÷30 mg/l (in conversion to ion Mg²⁺), calcium citrate content is - 4÷6 mg/l (in conversion to ion Ca⁺), potassium sulphate content is - 80÷100 mg/l (in conversion to ion K⁺), zinc sulphate content is - 2÷4.5 mg/l (in conversion to ion Zn²⁺), manganese sulphate - 0.04÷0.09 mg/l (in conversion to ion Mn²⁺). The weight ratio of magnesium to potassium to zinc to manganese to calcium is respectively 385,7:1285,7:50:1:71,4. The method for production of this water is characterised by introducing the following components into distilled water: magnesium sulphate is taken in an amount of 24÷30 mg/l (in conversion to ion Mg²⁺), potassium sulphate - 80÷100 mg/l (in conversion to ion K⁺), manganese sulphate - 0.04÷0.09 mg/l (in conversion to ion Mn²⁺), zinc sulphate - 2÷4.5 mg/l (in conversion to ion Zn²⁺) and calcium citrate - 4÷6 mg/l (in conversion to ion Ca⁺) with subsequent maintenance during 3 hours.

EFFECT: invention ensures uniform distribution of salt solution in the total volume of the distillate in the process of production of artificially mineralised water enriched with mineral additives in a balanced form of water in large volumes.
