Why is brackish water bitter?

Thread Content

Why is brackish water bitter? Is it because of chloride ions? Magnesium chloride has a bitter taste, which is why the water tastes bitter as well. But is this bitterness caused by chloride ions? It’s still because of magnesium ions. Is there another explanation?

Brackish water is water with alkalinity greater than hardness, containing large amounts of neutral salts, and a pH value greater than 7. It is alkalinity rather than magnesium ions that affects the taste of brackish water.

It seems I need to look into flavor chemistry. It has been found that magnesium chloride has a bitter taste.
