In many countries, the normal diet might not essentially provide optimal levels of vital minerals and nutrients. Recent evidence suggests that nutritional zinc deficiency is common among the people of many developing countries where they subsist on diets of plant origin (e.g. cereal and legume). Many mineral deficiencies can be over come by taking supplements. One practical approach would be to design a beverage composition fortified with a nutritional amount of minerals, which has palatability while preserving the bioavailability of the metal ions. Drinking water, as opposed to a beverage, should contain water as its main ingredient with the taste and appearance of water. Fortification of drinking water with soluble, stable and bio-available minerals (e.g. iron, zinc) has been a challenge. In view of the above a process has been envisaged and developed for preparation of packaged nutria beverage in glass bottles
