Club Soda Ingrdients?

Question

Can anybody tell me the percentage amount of Potassium Citrate that is put into making Club Soda? The ingredient label on a bottle of Club Soda reads as follows: Carbonated Water, Potasium Bicarbonate and Potasium Citrate.

Answer 1

Carbonated water, also known as soda water, sparkling water, fizzy water or seltzer water, is plain water into which carbon dioxide gas has been dissolved. The process of dissolving carbon dioxide gas is called carbonation. It results in the formation of carbonic acid (which has the chemical formula H2CO3).

In the past, soda water was produced in the home by "charging" a refillable seltzer bottle by filling it with water and then adding carbon dioxide. Club soda may be identical to plain carbonated water or it may contain a small amount of table salt, sodium citrate, sodium bicarbonate, potassium bicarbonate, potassium sulfate, or disodium phosphate, depending on the bottler. These additives are included to emulate the slightly salty taste of homemade soda water.

Actual percentages are company secret's and closely guarded.
