A mineral-fortification system that has a bottle cap, a pouch and a pouch opener. A powder is contained within the pouch, and the powder contains at least one mineral and a redox modulating compound. When the cap is secured onto the opening of a bottle containing a liquid and when the pouch opener is activated, the powder is released from the pouch and mixes with the liquid to form a mineral fortified liquid composition that is fortified with at least one mineral and has a pH between about 2.5 and 9.5. Moreover, the mineral fortified liquid composition has a redox potential that satisfies the following equation:
0≧RP−(A−B*pH).
In this equation RP is the redox potential in millivolts of the mineral-containing liquid composition, pH is the pH of the mineral-containing liquid composition, A is 400 and B is 20. The mineral is preferably selected from calcium, iron, zinc, copper, manganese, iodine, magnesium, and mixtures of these. Moreover, the mineral-fortified liquid composition may preferably be substantially free of flavor or sweetener compounds. Even more preferably, the liquid composition has no metallic taste or after-taste, a Hunter colorimetric “b” reading of less than 5.0, and an NTU turbidity value of less than 5.0. The mineral-fortified liquid composition may optionally contain other nutrients and vitamins, for example, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, niacin, thiamin, vitamin B6, vitamin B2, vitamin B 12, folic acid, selenium, pantathonic acid, and iodine.
一种矿物质强化系统,它有一个瓶盖、一个小袋和一个开袋器。袋中装有粉末,粉末中含有至少一种矿物质和氧化还原调节化合物。当瓶盖被固定在装有液体的瓶口上时,当开袋器被激活时,粉末就会从袋中释放出来,并与液体混合,形成强化矿物质的液体组合物,该组合物强化了至少一种矿物质,pH 值在 2.5 到 9.5 之间。此外,强化矿物质液体组合物的氧化还原电位满足下式:
0≧RP-(A-B*pH)。
式中 RP 为含矿物质液体组合物的氧化还原电位(毫伏),pH 为含矿物质液体组合物的 pH 值,A 为 400,B 为 20。矿物质最好选自
钙、
铁、
锌、
铜、
锰、
碘、
镁以及它们的混合物。此外,矿物质强化液体组合物最好基本上不含香精或
甜味剂化合物。更优选的是,液体组合物没有
金属味或余味,亨特比色 "b "读数小于 5.0,NTU 浊度值小于 5.0。矿物质强化液体组合物可选择含有其他营养素和
维生素,例如
维生素 A、
维生素 C、
维生素 E、
烟酸、
硫胺素、
维生素 B6、
维生素 B2、
维生素 B12、叶酸、
硒、
泛酸和
碘。
