Chinese manufacturers adhere to strict quality control standards, ensuring that their anatase TiO2 meets international specifications. The 99.6% purity level is achieved through sophisticated purification techniques, including leaching, precipitation, and calcination processes. These methods remove impurities such as iron, sulfur, and organic compounds, resulting in a product with exceptional whiteness, brightness, and dispersion properties.

In a study published in the journal Environmental Toxicology and Pharmacology in 2020, researchers examined the effects of food additives titanium dioxide and silica on the intestinal tract by grouping and feeding mice three different food-grade particles — micro-TiO2, nano-TiO2, and nano-SiO2.  With all three groups, researchers observed changes in the gut microbiota, particularly mucus-associated bacteria. Furthermore, all three groups experienced inflammatory damage to the intestine, but the nano-TiO2 displayed the most pronounced changes. The researchers wrote: “Our results suggest that the toxic effects on the intestine were due to reduced intestinal mucus barrier function and an increase in metabolite lipopolysaccharides which activated the expression of inflammatory factors downstream. In mice exposed to nano-TiO2, the intestinal PKC/TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway was activated. These findings will raise awareness of toxicities associated with the use of food-grade TiO2 and SiO2.”

Anatase titanium dioxide (TiO2) is a widely used food-grade additive that imparts various functionalities to food products. It is a naturally occurring mineral that has been extensively studied for its safety and effectiveness in food applications. TiO2 is classified as GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) and is approved for use in a wide range of food products, including beverages, confectionery, and pharmaceuticals.

Procurement of TIO2 involves a complex process, starting from sourcing the raw materials, primarily ilmenite, rutile, or titanium-bearing slag, to negotiating contracts with suppliers. Manufacturers often prioritize suppliers that can guarantee consistent quality, competitive pricing, and reliable delivery schedules. This necessitates strong relationships and strategic partnerships with mining companies, which are typically located in regions rich in titanium resources, such as Australia, South Africa, and Canada.
