Titanium dioxide has many purposes in both food and product development.
china titanium dioxide in medicine. When exposed to light, TiO2 can generate reactive oxygen species, which can selectively destroy cancer cells. Chinese scientists have been working on developing TiO2-based photosensitizers for cancer treatment, showing promising results in preclinical studies.Titanium dioxide is a naturally-occurring mineral found in the earth’s crust. Because of its white color, opaqueness, and ability to refract light, the ingredient is often used as a pigment, brightener, and opacifier, which is an ingredient that makes a formulation more opaque.
