MINERAL FUNCTIONAL WATER, METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SAME, AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING UNICELLULAR ORGANISMS AND/OR VIRUSES

摘要

Mineral functional water useful for controlling unicellular organisms and/or viruses is provided. The mineral functional water satisfies all of requirements (i), and (iii) and shows excellent controlling effects upon unicellular organisms and/or viruses. (i) In a sample wherein 15 pst·wt. or more of the mineral functional water is fixed with respect to 100 pst·wt. of a ceramic carrier, the average emissivity to black body at wavelength of 5 to 7 micrometers and wavelength of 14 to 24 micrometers (measurement temperature: 25 Centigrade) is 90% or more, (ii) pH of the mineral functional water is 12 or higher, and (iii) controlling effects against at least one of unicellular organisms and viruses are manifested.

主权项

1. Mineral functional water, comprising all of requirements (i), (ii), (iii), and (iv):
(i) based on 100 pst·wt. of a ceramic carrier, in a sample in which 15 pst·wt. or more of the mineral functional water has been fixed, an average emissivity (measurement temperature: 25 Centigrade) to the black body is 90% or more between wavelengths of 5-7 micrometers and between wavelengths of 14-24 micrometers; (ii) pH of the mineral functional water is 12 or more; (iii) controlling effects upon at least one of unicellular organisms and viruses are showed; and (iv) carbonate components are included in the mineral functional water.
