The production of Chinese anatase titanium dioxide involves a series of complex chemical processes, including hydrolysis and calcination of titanium precursors. These processes result in the formation of nanoscale particles of anatase titanium dioxide, which exhibit enhanced properties such as increased surface area and improved reactivity. The size and morphology of these nanoparticles can be controlled during the synthesis process, allowing for the production of tailored materials with specific properties for different applications.

The additives that received a “no safety concern” conclusion based on current estimated dietary exposure are as follows:

Overall, the Food Directorate's comprehensive review of the available science of TiO₂ as a food additive showed:
