sufiicient sulphuric acid to extract up to 95 per cent or more, of the titanium oxide prescut. This extraction is carried on so that the resulting product, after the addition of the required amount of sulphuric acid, is in the form of a dry powdered .mass, in which approximately 95 per cent of the titanium is in a soluble form. Th dry powdered mass is thenextractedin suitable leaching tanks with water, whereby a solution of approximately 70 grams of sulphuric acid and 100 grams of titanium oxide to the liter, is obtained.

For research published in 2022 study in the journal Food and Chemical Toxicology, scientists examined “the genotoxicity and the intracellular reactive oxygen species induction by physiologically relevant concentrations of three different TiO2 nanomaterials in Caco-2 and HT29-MTX-E12 intestinal cells, while considering the potential influence of the digestion process in the NMs’ physiochemical characteristics.” They found a “DNA-damaging effect dependent on the nanomaterial,” along with the micronucleus assay suggesting “effects on chromosomal integrity, an indicator of cancer risk, in the HT29-MTX-E12 cells, for all the tested TiO2 nanomaterials.” Researchers concluded that the results showcase “evidence of concern” regarding titanium dioxide used as a food additive.
