The precipitation of titanium dioxide is a crucial process in the manufacturing of this important industrial material. Titanium dioxide is a white pigment that is widely used in various industries, such as paints, coatings, plastics, and cosmetics, due to its excellent opacity, brightness, and UV resistance.
In food, titanium dioxide has a few different uses. Most notably, its food-grade form is used as a colorant to enhance and brighten the color of white foods such as dairy products, candy, frosting, and the powder on donuts. For foods that are sensitive to UV light, titanium dioxide is used for food safety purposes to prevent spoilage and increase the shelf life of food.
