Water Alcohol

Water is a clear, odorless, tasteless liquid essential for life. It is a compound made of hydrogen and oxygen atoms (H2O). Water is found naturally in oceans, lakes, rivers, and rain, and is purified for use in food and beverages.

Water is used in food manufacturing as a solvent, a base for beverages, and to control texture and moisture in baked goods and processed foods. It is also used in cleaning and sanitation processes during food production.

Water is essential for human health. The US FDA considers purified water safe for consumption. Regulatory bodies like JECFA have evaluated water and its safety is well-established. Adequate water intake is crucial for bodily functions, and while excessive water consumption is rare, it can lead to health issues.
