Abstract

Solutions of 1000 and 2000 ppm (mg. per liter) of Na2SO4, NaHCO3, CaSO4, MgSO4, NaCl, CaCl2, and Na2CO3 were rated on an acceptability scale in 3 separate studies. Results showed that the minerals ranked acceptability approximately as listed. Implications of the findings were discussed mainly in regard to detection thresholds for the 8 minerals and consumer-acceptance of naturally mineralized ground waters used for domestic supplies.
