Lithopone, also called zinc-barium white, is a very stable network molecular structure formed by the reaction of zinc sulfate and barium sulfide and calcined at high temperature. Lithopone is a white powder that is non-toxic and non-corrosive. It is insoluble in water and does not interact with hydrogen sulfide and alkali. It dissolves with acid and produces hydrogen sulfide gas.
As a food additive, titanium dioxide and its nanoparticles in particular have been associated with DNA damage and cell mutations, which in turn, have potential to cause cancer. When used as a food coloring, it is known as E171.
