Those who drink boiled water despise those who drink cold water, those who drink mineral water despise those who drink boiled water, and those who drink soda water despise those who drink mineral water.
And bubble water has always been at the top of the contempt chain.
Namely: bubble water >; Mineral water > boiled water > cold water
As long as you go to a western restaurant with a slight accent, when you order some water, the waiter will ask: gas or not?
In short, drinking soda seems to be full.
Europeans love soft drinks, especially Germans.
Germans who drink soda can be divided into six categories:
? Academic school: "under high pressure, carbonic acid will not precipitate minerals, nor will it make mineral water turbid."
? Pi Jie School: "Carbonic acid can clean the taste buds in the mouth and clean up food residue."
? Healthy school: "Promote gastrointestinal peristalsis in the process of digestion, sugar-free, 0 calories."
? Habitual school: "this is a habit, we are like this, we are different from the French."
? Rush school: "I think water without bubbles is tasteless."
? Pride: "water without bubbles?" That's what I use to take a bath. "
Bubble water is not so crazy in the eyes of China people, which is generally equal to "Parisian water with bad taste!" .
In recent years, bubble water has become more and more popular, and this wind has caused a small whirlpool in China. Both Nongfu Spring and Jing Tian have produced bubble water, and the famous Norwegian water, FoxVoss, was bought by Hua Bin, the father of Red Bull, and made in Zhuxi, Hubei Province, and will be listed soon.
However, the people who eat melons are still shocked. "Did you say soda?"
Bubble water, as its name implies, contains bubbles.
The scientific name of Bubble Water is carbonated water. On a global scale, people generally confuse carbonated water, soda water and soda water. Because there are different labels on water bottles, it is very complicated to choose soda water even abroad.
Wikipedia's explanation of bubble water is as follows:
Carbonated water (also known as soda water, soda water, soda water, soda water or soda water) is water in which carbon dioxide gas is dissolved under pressure. Some of them contain additives, such as sodium chloride, sodium bicarbonate or similar substances, but Salz mineral water almost always consists of water and carbon dioxide, with no other additives.
According to the nature of bubbles, carbonated water can be divided into natural gas bubble water and artificial aerated water.
1. Natural gas soaking: natural mineral water with gas.
China's mineral water standard GB8537 stipulates eight boundary indicators, the seventh of which is free carbon dioxide. When the free carbon dioxide in water exceeds 250mg/L, it can be characterized as natural mineral water with gas.
Gas-bearing natural mineral water resources are particularly scarce and rich in minerals, both in price and value are rare and precious.
Generally speaking, natural aerated water is called "bubble water" in foreign countries. The world-famous water includes Parisian water in green pear bottles, as well as San Pei Lu and Pune in Italy.
In Europe, the main function of sparklingwater is to accompany meals. There are three main functions:
? Improve the taste of water and make people feel happy;
? Promote digestion.
? High-priced soda is better than fine dinner.
In China, soda water has three main functions:
? Rich people pretend to be forced.
? People who don't drink pretend to be forced.
? Cocktail drinkers pretend to be forced.
2. Artificial aerated water
/kloc-In the middle of the 8th century, British chemist joseph priestley found that filling water with carbon dioxide in a brewery had a pleasant taste and could refresh people, so he recommended this kind of water to his friends.
This is the earliest aerated water. Coke Sprite is the most commercialized soda.
What's the difference between carbonated drinks and soda water and soda water? As long as you remember the following formula, you can tell:
? Carbonated drinks = pure water+carbon dioxide+sugar
? Non-steam soda water = pure water+sodium bicarbonate
? Aerated soda water = purified water +CO2+ NaHCO3 (partially sugary)
? Artificial bubble water = natural mineral water +CO2
? Natural gas soaking water = gas-bearing natural mineral water (free CO2 content exceeds 250mg/L)
3. Soaking water is weakly acidic, but it is harmless to human body.
Many people mistakenly think that soda is soda water, and the problem lies in pH value.
The pH value of bubble water is generally around 6.5, which is weakly acidic; Soda water is alkaline because of the addition of sodium bicarbonate, and its pH value is about 8.5. Aerated soda water is still alkaline because it is artificially prepared.
The Japanese invented weak alkaline water, and Nongfu Spring was developed in China. However, the pH value of water has no obvious health relationship with human body.
In the WHO Guidelines for Drinking Water Quality issued by the World Health Organization, based on hygiene standards, the pH value is specified as follows (P3 15):
12.1.107 ph value
The pH value does not give a healthy standard value. Although pH value usually has no direct influence on users, it is indeed one of the important operating water quality parameters.
As we all know, the main absorption part of water is in the small intestine, starting from the mouth (weak acid environment), passing through the stomach (strong acid environment), and then reaching the lower digestive tract (alkaline environment). Water can't cause acid-base changes in human body within a certain range. If acid-base changes really occur, you need to see a doctor in time to solve them, not by drinking water.
After years of evolution, the human body has a perfect acid-base balance mechanism. There is no scientific basis for saying that drinking weak alkaline water often is good for health, and we don't need to pay for it.
Because of the pH value, many people refuse to drink frothy water for fear of forming acidic constitution, which is totally unnecessary.
4. How to choose bubble water?
? TDS value
TDS value refers to the total amount of dissolved solids in water. TDS value is an important index when selecting mineral water. The jargon is generally called "concentration of water".
The TDS value range of bubble water is large. The higher the TDS concentration, the less resources and the more expensive it is. For example, the TDS concentration of mineral water in Kang Ding, France reaches 2 100mg/L, and the TDS concentration of water in Royal Vichy Catalonia, Spain reaches 2900 mg/L. ..
The TDS value of Paris water is 475 mg/L; VOSS is artificial bubble water and mineral water with TDS concentration of 290 mg/L; The TDS concentration of Ferrarelle, the most famous bubble water in France, is 1270mg/L, and that of Saint-Peru is1107 mg/L..
Those who adapt to the variety of bubble water can buy bubble water of about 1000mg/L, which has a stronger taste and rich layers. After chilled, it can be used as table water, which is perfect with steak.
Those who occasionally taste fresh soda suggest buying 500mg/L soda, which is light in taste and does not need to be washed, but it still needs to be chilled. Bubble water with low TDS concentration is better as a cocktail.
? bubble
Bubble refers to the carbonation degree of water, emphasizing the content and strength of bubbles. There is a great difference between artificial bubble water and natural gas bubble water.
1, the density of the bubble.
Natural bubble water, with denser bubbles and more elasticity, spreads out in the whole mouth, returns the original cool and sweet mineral water to the upper jaw, and then gathers and slides down the throat. The bubble in the back pushes the bubble in the front, and the feeling of blasting layer by layer is really wonderful. This time, there is no artificial soaking.
2. Density of bubbles.
The bubbles of natural gas soaking water come from volcanic geological movement. Bubbles are less blunt and more natural. Artificial bubble water is more intense, because artificial bubbles are easy to dissipate after opening a bottle. Armani bubble water is a typical example.
Farmer's bubble water is not worth buying, because the TDS concentration of source water is very low, so it is not suitable for bubble water.
Nongfu Spring bubble water is not worth buying.
? taste
The taste of water is determined by four important indicators.
1, TDS concentration
The TDS concentration of ordinary natural mineral water exceeds 200mg/L, and the taste is slightly heavy. However, because there are bubbles in sparkling water, and it is usually drunk after being chilled, the TDS concentration is lower than 500mg/L, which is basically not worth drinking.
The TDS concentration of delicious bubble water is about 1000mg/ L, which not only supplements bubbles, stimulates rich taste, but also enhances the cool and exciting feeling.
2. Hardness.
The hardness is determined by the concentration of calcium and magnesium ions. When the concentration of calcium and magnesium ions is low, the hardness of water is low.
When the hardness of ordinary natural mineral water is 10- 100mg/L, the taste is soft and smooth. The hardness of soaking water is slightly higher, especially when iced soaking water is used as table water. The water with low hardness can neither remove the taste left by the last dish, nor refresh the mind. It has no irritation to the mouth and does not conform to the characteristics of soaking water.
This is another reason why Nongfu Spring bubble water is not worth buying.
3. Magnesium ion.
Magnesium ion determines the bitterness. The bitter mineral water in Czechoslovakia has a magnesium ion content as high as1100 mg/L.
The ratio of calcium and magnesium ions in human body is 3: 1. When choosing bubble water, calcium and magnesium ions are close to this ratio, and taste buds are more friendly to water. The concentration of magnesium ion should not be too high or too low, but it is better, a little bitter and not so picky, which enriches the taste level of water at once. But there is no fixed basis for this. You won't know until you drink it.
4. Sodium ion.
Sodium ion determines that "water is a little sweet". The lower the sodium ion, the sweeter the taste buds will feel.
Paris water is famous for its high concentration of calcium and magnesium ions and low sodium ions. So the taste is dominant.
So far, the best soda in the world is San Pedro, Italy, and there is no one.
But this summer, if you believe in soda like me, drink it.
