Evaluación de las características fisicoquímicas de 3 marcas de agua mineralizada envasada, comercializadas en la Ciudad de Machala.

Abstract

The present research work is focused on the analysis of different samples of mineralized water of different brands marketed in the city of Machala in order to determine physicochemical parameters such as: pH, hardness and chlorides present in the water, the values obtained for the sample 1 were (8,1; 28 mg/l; 24,72 ppm), sample 2 (7,1; 42 mg/l; 170,20 ppm) and sample 3 (6,4; 15 mg/l; 81,55 ppm) respectively, reaching the conclusion that the different brands of mineralized water are in compliance with the INEN 2200 standard, since the results obtained are within the range of the permissible limits by current regulations.
