For a review published in 2023 in the journal Environmental Pollution, researchers examined E171 as a possible factor promoting obesity-related metabolic disorders. Because gut microbiota play an important role in immune function maintenance and development, and because titanium dioxide as a food additive has been shown to alter gut microbiota, researchers wanted to review “the dysregulations along the gut microbiota-immune system axis after oral TiO2 exposure compared to those reported in obese or diabetic patients, and to highlight potential mechanisms by which foodborne TiO2 nanoparticles may increase the susceptibility to develop obesity-related metabolic disorders.” The study authors discovered recurrent changes in the gut microbiota composition when exposed to titanium dioxide nanoparticles, with an imbalance of intestinal symbiotic microbiota. These changes and imbalances were also reported and played a role in the development of obesity, the authors wrote. This highlights “foodborne TiO2 nanoparticles as an endocrine disruptor-like chemical promoting obesity-related disorders,” the authors concluded.

Titanium Dioxide (TiO2), a naturally occurring oxide of titanium, exists in two primary crystalline forms - Anatase and Rutile. Among these, Rutile TiO2, with its superior whiteness and high refractive index, has garnered significant attention in the coating sector. Its exceptional good whiteness imparts a brilliant, clean appearance to coatings, making it an indispensable ingredient in various applications such as architectural coatings, plastics, paper, and even food.

In conclusion, while both lithopone and titanium dioxide have their advantages and disadvantages, TiO2 appears to be the better choice for most applications. Its superior whiteness, UV protection properties, and chemical stability make it a popular choice in the paint, plastics, and paper industries. However, for applications where cost and safety are primary concerns, lithopone may still be a viable option. Ultimately, the choice between these two pigments will depend on the specific requirements of the application and the desired balance of performance and cost.
