Virginality
- Definition: Virginality describes how well-protected water is from external environmental influences (e.g., nitrates).
- Nitrates: Since nitrates have no smell or taste, only testing can determine their levels in water. The lower the nitrate content, the purer the water.
- Cooking Impact: Cooking increases nitrate concentration.
- Åre Water: Contains < 0.5 mg/l nitrates (sum of nitrites and nitrates: NO₂/0.5 + NO₃/50).
Characteristics of Natural Mineral Water
- Contains natural minerals – nothing added, nothing removed.
- Originates from an underground water reservoir.
- Bottled directly at the source for distribution.
- Must be approved by the NFA or equivalent authority in the country of origin.
Åre Water Profile
- Moderately hard: Calcium 32 mg/l, Magnesium 1.2 mg/l.
- pH: 7.9 | TDS: 110 mg/l.
- Contains naturally 84% oxygen.
- Very low sodium content with a well-balanced mineral profile.
纯净度(Virginality)
定义:纯净度是指水源受外部环境影响(如硝酸盐)的保护程度。
硝酸盐:硝酸盐无味无嗅,只能通过检测来确定其在水中的含量。硝酸盐含量越低,水质越纯净。
烹饪影响:烹饪会增加硝酸盐的浓度。
Åre Water:硝酸盐含量 < 0.5 mg/l (亚硝酸盐和硝酸盐总和:NO₂/0.5 + NO₃/50)。
天然矿泉水的特征
- 含有天然矿物质——不添加,不去除。
- 来自地下水源。
- 在水源地直接灌装并配送。
- 必须获得 NFA 或其他国家相应权威机构的批准。
Åre Water 水质参数
- 中等硬度:钙 32 mg/l,镁 1.2 mg/l。
- pH 值:7.9 | 总溶解固体(TDS):110 mg/l。
