Description

Process for preparation of mineral-containing water and mineral-containing water prepared by the same}

The present invention relates to a method for producing mineral-containing water and to mineral-containing water produced thereby, and more particularly, to a method for producing mineral-containing water using ionized shells, pearls or coral powder, and to mineral-containing water produced thereby. will be.

Water is an absolutely necessary substance that accounts for 70% of the human body as the source of life. However, in recent years, as the industry develops and the emission of garbage and wastes increases, rivers, groundwater, and the like are dangerously polluted. Therefore, it is estimated that tap water provided to households by disinfecting such river water may be contaminated.

Good water conditions should include 1) various bacteria such as Escherichia coli, which causes water-borne infectious diseases, within the standard value, 2) impurities such as chemicals, rust and heavy metals should not be detected, and 3) trace minerals beneficial to human health. It must be balanced, 4) rich in oxygen, 5) water alkaline (pH) of about 7.5-9, and 6) clusters that represent the density of water molecules. 70Hz is good (general water cluster is 120 ~ 160Hz), and 7) water molecules should be hexagonal rings.

To drink such good water, consumers use mineral water, such as calcium, sodium, potassium, and magnesium, which are beneficial to the human body, extracted from underground rock aquifers, as drinking water.

Minerals do not act alone, but are used through interactions and antagonisms with other minerals, vitamins and hormones in the body. There are about 15 essential minerals that are not produced by the body and must be consumed through food, including calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, phosphorus, zinc, iron, manganese, copper, iodine, aluminum, chromium, selenium, Germanium, chlorine, sulfur, fluorine, cobalt, silicon and the like. Among these components, calcium (Ca) acts to make hard tissues such as bones and teeth and keep the heart rate constant; Magnesium (Mg) promotes heart function, prevents calcium from depositing on the walls of blood vessels and prevents gallstones; Potassium (K) helps the body deal with waste, stabilizes blood pressure and helps treat allergies; Sodium (Na) prevents heat fatigue and heat stroke; Zinc (Zn) greatly affects the development of human skin and skeleton, hair retention, is involved in insulin secretion, taste and reproductive effects, helps burns and wounds, helps metabolize proteins, and strengthens bones. To; Iron (Fe) acts to increase the resistance of the disease, prevent fatigue and improve the color; Germanium (Ge) serves to help the blood circulation smoothly by expanding the microvascular; Silicon (Si) strengthens bones to prevent arthritis, osteoporosis and the like; Aluminum (Al) controls the heat in the body and prevents the intestinal stenosis. As such, since minerals are closely related to the health of our bodies, in most cases, minerals are supplied to the body by taking medicines, foods, or mineral-containing water. However, there is a limit to the intake of minerals by food or other drugs, so the mineral-containing water is frequently used by using a water purifier that provides mineral-containing water. However, in the case of commercially available water purifiers, it is difficult to maintain the function as mineral-containing water because the mineral components contained in the water during the purification are filtered out. The water purified through the conventional water purifier is only about making clean water rather than making water beneficial to human health, and does not include special advantages or functions.

Therefore, much research is being conducted on a method for supplying more mineral components to the body through mineral containing water. In related technology, Korean Patent Publication No. 10-0814728 discloses a method of preparing vanadium-containing water extracted from igneous rocks, and Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2005-8709 discloses active hydrogen-containing water and a method of manufacturing the same. , Republic of Korea Patent No. 10-0302277 describes a method for producing germanium-containing water from natural germanium ore, Republic of Korea Patent No. 10-0750351 describes a method for producing germanium-containing water using ocher.

In addition, much research is being conducted on calcium ionized water using shellfish as a method for supplying more calcium components to the body. As a related technology, Korean Patent Publication No. 10-0397682 discloses a method for producing ionized calcium and ionized calcium water using a pearl shell, and Korean Patent Publication No. 10-0604353 discloses a method for producing calcium ionized water using shellfish and a device thereof. , Korean Unexamined Patent Publication No. 10-2007-8297 discloses a method for preparing an aqueous solution of calcium using shellfish and a functional food containing the aqueous solution of calcium. However, when drinking water is prepared using shellfish, most shell powder is not completely dissolved in the drinking water, so the bitter taste, which is inherent to iron and manganese, of the minerals contained in the shell appears too strong. There is a problem that is difficult to use this as drinking water.

Therefore, the shell powder is completely dissolved in the drinking water to remove the bitterness and bitterness of the mineral components in the mineral-containing water. Development is required.

The inventors of the present invention have been studying a method for completely dissolving shell powder in drinking water to solve the fishy and bitter taste of mineral components in the mineral-containing water, while mixing ionized shell, pearl or coral powder in the drinking water, By adding citric acid or vitamin C to the remaining precipitates, the shell powder was completely dissolved, the vitrification and bitter taste of various minerals were completely removed, and it was confirmed that various mineral components were contained very high, thus completing the present invention.

The present invention is to provide a method for producing mineral-containing water using ionized shell, pearl or coral powder and the mineral-containing water produced thereby.

The present invention

1) mixing at least one selected from ionized shell, pearl or coral powder into drinking water, mixing

2) decanting the supernatant produced in step 1), the precipitate is dissolved by adding citric acid or vitamin C, and

3) It provides a method for producing a mineral-containing water comprising the step of adjusting the pH to 7 ~ 10 by adding a supernatant to the solution dissolved in step 2).

The present invention also provides a mineral-containing water produced by the above method.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.

In the production method of the present invention, step 1) is a step of mixing at least one selected from ionized shell, pearl or coral powder into drinking water. 0.1-3 g of at least one selected from ionized shell, pearl or coral powder is placed in drinking water and left at room temperature for at least 4 hours. The ionized shell, pearl or coral powder then precipitates without dissolution.

The ionized shell, pearl or coral powder, the shell, pearl or coral is calcined for 1 to 4 hours, preferably 2 to 3 hours at 1,100 ~ 1,300 ℃, preferably 1,200 ~ 1,250 ℃, the calcined shell , Pearl or coral is slowly cooled to room temperature and then prepared by powdering to 200-400 mesh. Firing shells, pearls, or corals at high temperatures ionizes the various minerals and speeds up their absorption into the body. The shells include, but are not limited to, clam shells, oyster shells, conch shells, crab shells, or oysters grown in clean water for many years. It is preferable to use a shell which is not too thin and has a rather high specific gravity. Too thin or low specific gravity is scattered during firing, so there is a problem that the yield decreases.

Step 2) is a step of dissolving by adding citric acid or vitamin C to the precipitate produced in step 1). Carefully pour out the supernatant produced in step 1) and transfer to another beaker. At this time, the acidity of the supernatant is strongly alkaline above pH 12. Citric acid or vitamin C is added to the remaining precipitate to completely dissolve the precipitate. At this time, the addition amount of citric acid or vitamin C may include 0.3 to 2.5 parts by weight based on 1 part by weight of ionized shell, pearl or coral powder. If the amount of citric acid or vitamin C added is more than 2.5 parts by weight, the dissolved solution has a pH of about 4%, which is difficult to drink, and if it is less than 0.3 parts by weight, the precipitates of ionized shells, pearls, or coral powder are not easily dissolved. This occurs.

In addition, if citric acid or vitamin C is added to the mixed solution produced in step 1) without decanting the supernatant, citric acid or vitamin C is first neutralized by acting on the supernatant and then precipitated with the remaining citric acid or vitamin C. The shell, pearl or coral powder cannot be completely dissolved because the shell, pearl or coral powder is dissolved. Therefore, a larger amount of citric acid or vitamin C is added to completely dissolve the shell, pearl or coral powder, and in this case, the acidity of the drinking water is very high, so acidity is so strong that it is difficult to drink. If the shell, pearl or coral powder is not completely dissolved, the amount of minerals in the drinking water will be less. Therefore, to dissolve the shell powder with a small amount of citric acid or vitamin C, the superalkaline supernatant is decanted and the precipitated shell, pearl or coral powder is completely dissolved with a small amount of citric acid or vitamin C.

Citric acid is a metabolite that exists in nature and is an organic acid contained in lemons, citrus fruits, and oranges. It is also called lemon acid or citric acid. The benefits of citric acid include the activation of macrophages, anti-aging of the skin, anti-aging of bone, and fat cell decomposition, which are the core of the immune system. Action, prevents acidification of blood, inhibits calcium stones, prevents athlete's foot, promotes saliva secretion and promotes secretion of gastric juice. In addition, citric acid promotes the metabolism of sugars and relieves fatigue, and the ability to wash the body's fatigue substances is up to 10 times glucose.

Vitamin C is a vitamin that acts as an antioxidant and removes free radicals caused by oxidation in the body. In addition, vitamin C is essential for the formation of collagen, a component of joints, which is good for joint health, and makes the blood healthy so that it does not bruise easily, strengthens the gums and improves immune function. It prevents it. Vitamin C increases the absorption of iron in plant foods by two to four times.

Step 3) is to prepare a mineral-containing water having a high content of various mineral components, by adding a supernatant to the solution dissolved in step 2) to adjust the pH to 7-10.

The mineral-containing water produced by the above method has a very high content of various mineral components, in particular, calcium content is very high compared to commercial bottled water. In addition, since minerals are ionized in the mineral-containing water produced according to the present invention, it is thought that absorption in the body is very high when the mineral-containing water is consumed by humans. Therefore, it is thought to be effective for the prevention of osteoporosis, which is one of the adult diseases, the development of bones of growing children, and the prevention or alleviation of various diseases caused by mineral deficiency.

In addition, the mineral-containing water prepared according to the present invention can be added directly or diluted to be used in the manufacture of food, cosmetics and medicines such as noodles, dumplings, beverages, etc., and can also be used to grow organic crops. .

Hereinafter, preferred examples are provided to aid in understanding the present invention. However, the following examples are merely provided to more easily understand the present invention, and the contents of the present invention are not limited by the examples.

Example  One  : Preparation of Mineral-Containing Water

The shells were washed thoroughly to remove impurities completely and dried to prevent water from remaining. The dried shells were calcined for 2 to 3 hours at 1,200 ~ 1,250 ° C. The calcined clam was slowly cooled to room temperature. Clam shells were powdered to 200-400 mesh. 1 g of the shell powder was placed in 1 L of drinking water, and left at room temperature for 4 hours or more. The supernatant was carefully decanted and transferred to another beaker. At this time, the acidity of the supernatant is strongly alkaline above pH 12. 1 g of citric acid was added to the remaining precipitate to completely dissolve the precipitate. Supernatant was added to the dissolved solution to adjust the pH to 7 to 10 to prepare mineral-containing water.
