“…In particular, the chemical composition and related properties of mineral waters are not only important for health, but also for the promotion and advertising of these waters (Kończyk et al, 2019). Up to now, many studies have focused on the chemical quality of bottled drinking and mineral waters consumed in various countries and Turkey (Mahajan et al, 2006;Cemek et al, 2007;Baba et al, 2008;Güler and Alpaslan, 2009;Cicchella et al, 2010;Cengiz et al, 2015;Dos Santos et al 2016;Khandaker et al, 2017;Dippong et al, 2020;Todorović et al, 2020). However, the contents Ca, Mg and Na in bottled spring and mineral waters commercially sold in Turkey have not been compared.…”

Drinking water is the most indispensable substance for humans. Bottled drinking waters are preferred over tap water with the belief that they are more nutritious, better quality, more delicious and safe in terms of health. Therefore, the Turkish bottled (spring and mineral) water market has experienced a continuous growth since 2003, as in the whole world. This study focuses on comparing the common mineral cation calcium (Ca2+), magnesium (Mg2+) and sodium (Na+) content of twenty one popular bottled spring and mineral water brands marketed in Turkey by using an inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). The average concentrations of Ca, Mg and Na analyzed in bottled spring and mineral water samples were found as 14.9, 24.1 and 8.2 mg/L and 147.9, 44.3 and 117.3 mg/L, respectively. This comparison confirms that bottled natural mineral water has better quality in terms of major nutrient minerals than bottled natural spring waters.

The aim of this work was to evaluate the physicochemical and microbiological properties of natural mineral waters bottled in 20 liter containers produced in Mato Grosso - Brazil. For this study, three lots of eight brands produced in the state and commercialized in Cuiabá were analyzed. The physicochemical parameters determined were pH, electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids, total alkalinity, metals, ammonium, anions and glyphosate, and the measurements were made according to the Adolfo Lutz Institute and Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater. Chromogenic enzymatic substrates were used to determine Coliform bacteria and filtration with a filtering membrane was used for the Pseudomonas aeruginosa count. The results were compared with national and international legislation on bottled water and the labeled values. All physicochemical parameters, except for pH, showed concordant results with maximum values allowed by Brazilian and international law for the quality of bottled natural mineral waters. Six samples were investigated for the presence of coliforms and P. aeruginosa at 35 ºC. The results suggested possible contamination and failure during the industrialization process and the requirement for inspection during collection, manufacturing, labeling and commercialization of the natural mineral water bottled in 20 liter containers.
