Water for foodstuff and pharmaceutical industries

Water for foodstuff and the pharmaceutical industries should always satisfy the standard for drinking water, except in the case of waters which are not in contact with products (cooling waters, water for beet iluming, rough washing of products, etc.). 

Slaughterhouses and the meat industry require water of the quality of drinking water for cleaning the meat and cooking of meat products moreover, this water should be soft because the ions of the elements of alkaline earth elements cause whitening of meat. 

Starch factories need industrial water for flotation and washing of potatoes and for starch extraction. Water for extraction should be of drinking water quality. 

Pharmaceutical industry requires not only health safe, but frequently demineralized industrial water (produced by distillation or ion exchangers) (1, 2, 4].
