Abstract

This study aims to analyze the quality of mineral water based on physical, chemical, and microbial parameters and its legal consequences. The assessment standard used is SNI 3553:2015, and the test was conducted using five samples of mineral water produced and marketed in Bantaeng Regency, Indonesia. Physical testing parameters consist of odor, taste, turbidity, and Total Dissolved Solid (TDS). Chemical testing parameter consist of pH. While microbial parameter is Total Plate Count (TPC). At the same time, the statute approach is used to see the legal consequences. The results obtained indicate that all test parameters namely odor, taste, turbidity, TDS, pH and TPC meet the mineral water quality requirements according to SNI 3553:2015. Then, the regulation of mineral water standards is an obligation based on the Regulation of the Minister of Industry of the Republic of Indonesia. The legal consequences if the fulfillment of mineral water quality is not required can befall business actors, ranging from sanctions for revocation of business licenses to criminal sanctions.
