What it is
Water is a clear, odorless, and tasteless liquid essential for life. It is found naturally in oceans, lakes, rivers, and as groundwater. For food use, water is typically purified through processes like filtration and distillation to remove impurities.
Why it's used
Water is used in food production as a solvent, a base for beverages, and to hydrate dry ingredients. It is a key component in doughs, batters, sauces, and many other processed foods, helping to achieve desired textures and consistency.
Health notes
Water is a vital nutrient for human health. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers water to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). International bodies like the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated water and its safety for consumption. Adequate water intake is crucial for bodily functions, and while rare, both dehydration and overhydration can have health consequences.
