china titanium dioxide price per ton

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.

China's dominance in the production of titanium dioxide is largely due to its vast mineral reserves and advanced processing technology. With a focus on achieving a minimum purity of 98%, Chinese manufacturers are able to produce high-quality titanium dioxide that meets the stringent requirements of various industries. This commitment to excellence has helped China establish itself as a global leader in the production of titanium dioxide.
