Formulation worksheet

Magnesium Beverage Batch Quantity Calculator

Scale a per-serving elemental magnesium target to a liquid batch. The worksheet keeps the theoretical ingredient quantity, the extra batch volume made for process loss and any intentional overage as three separate numbers.

The total the finished serving should contain. An arithmetic example, not a recommended serving target.

Measured or specified contribution from the base water, premix or other ingredients. Enter 0 if none.

Saleable volume you need to fill, before process loss.

Finished serving volume. This input does not set the legal serving size.

Current lot assay as received, not purity or a dry-basis number. The initial value is an example.

Liquid lost in lines, tanks and start-up. Use your own documented figure. Increases batch volume, not concentration.

Only if separately justified and approved. Increases concentration in every serving.

Calculated result

Enter the values above to calculate. Results appear here.

Results are arithmetic estimates for batch planning. Confirm the finished product by analysis and follow your approved master formula.

Keep three quantities apart

This worksheet supports magnesium beverage formulation at batch scale. The theoretical quantity is the ingredient needed to put the target into every serving you plan to fill. The process-loss portion comes from compounding extra liquid at the same concentration because some volume stays in tanks, lines and start-up. The overage portion raises the concentration in every serving and needs its own justification. Mixing these into one multiplier hides what each one does.

Servings = fill volume in liters × 1,000 ÷ serving mL. Compounded volume = fill volume ÷ (1 − loss %). Added magnesium per serving = target − magnesium already present. Ingredient kilograms = added mg ÷ (assay % ÷ 100) × servings ÷ 1,000,000, scaled by compounded volume ÷ fill volume, then multiplied by (1 + overage %). With the initial example of 84 mg, 1,000 L, 355 mL, an 8% assay and a 2% loss, the theoretical quantity is about 2.958 kg and the compounded batch needs about 3.018 kg.

Use an as-is assay directly. If your document reports a dry-basis assay, reconcile it with the specified water method before entering an effective as-is value. The calculator does not predict solubility, turbidity, losses during storage or shelf life, and it does not choose an overage for you.

When magnesium is already in the base

Water, juice, a vitamin and mineral premix or another ingredient can supply magnesium. Enter that contribution per serving so the added ingredient covers only the difference. The result line for formulated magnesium per serving shows the total the formula is designed to deliver, before analytical confirmation.

The per-serving target, assay and serving volume can be set first in the beverage magnesium serving calculator.
