Abstract :
Recently bottled mineral water has become very popular as a nutritional (mineral) supplement. In this study, the concentrations of major minerals (K, Na, Mg, and Ca) in twenty-nine natural bottled fruit-flavored mineral water (BFMW) samples of ten brands marketed in Turkey were analyzed by an inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). The concentrations of K, Na, Mg and Ca analyzed in BFMW samples varied from 28 to 189, 11 to 282, 17 to 104 and 36 to 380 mg/L, respectively. The concentration results obtained were compared with those analyzed for natural bottled waters in the literature. Also, BFMW samples were categorized according to their K, Na, Mg and Ca content. Consequently, 38%, 31%, 24%, and 24% of the studied water samples are calcium waters, magnesium waters, sodium waters, and waters suitable for the sodium diet respectively.
