The first step in titanium dioxide gravimetric analysis is preparing the sample for analysis. This involves dissolving the sample in a suitable solvent and then adding a precipitating agent that will cause the titanium dioxide to form a solid precipitate. Once the precipitate has formed, it is then filtered and washed to remove any impurities.
“Unlike some other chemicals used in food, titanium dioxide has no nutritive, preservative, or food safety function—its use is purely cosmetic,” said CSPI principal scientist for additives and supplements, Thomas Galligan. “The prospect of titanium dioxide nanoparticles damaging DNA is concerning enough for us to recommend consumers avoid foods that have it.”
How we’re exposed to an ingredient matters greatly in terms of our long-term health.
Research shows that inhaling titanium dioxide particles in significant quantities over time can cause adverse health outcomes. Unless you work in an industrial setting, inhaling substantial amounts of titanium dioxide is highly unlikely.
