Titanium Dioxide Food Grade 25kg
Titanium dioxide (TiO2), or E171, is a white pigment used as a food additive to enhance the visual appeal of foods.
It’s commonly used to brighten or whiten foods like candies, pastries, chocolates, and coffee creamers.
While previously permitted in many countries, concerns have been raised about its potential health effects, leading to bans or restrictions in some regions.
Here’s more detailed Titanium Dioxide Food Grade 25kg uses:
Enhancing Visual Appeal:
Brightening and whitening: TiO2 scatters light, making foods appear brighter and more opaque.
Restoring natural color: It can help restore the original color of foods that have lost their vibrant appearance due to processing.
Other uses:
Texture: In some cases, it can help create a smoother texture, like in chocolates.
Anti-caking agent: It can prevent powdery foods from clumping together.
Examples of foods where TiO2 is used:
Chewing gum, Candy, Pastries and chocolates, Coffee creamers, Cake decorations, Sauces, and Soup.
Safety Concerns:
Genotoxicity:
Some studies have raised concerns about the potential for TiO2 particles to damage DNA.
Inconsistent Findings:
Some studies have shown potential adverse effects, while others have not.
Nanoparticle Concerns:
Because TiO2 is often used in the form of nanoparticles, there are concerns about their potential to penetrate biological barriers and cause harm.
Bans and Restrictions:
Due to these concerns, some countries have banned or restricted the use of TiO2 as a food additive.
