In a 2021, Chinese researchers examined the impact of E171 on lipid digestion and vitamin D3 bioaccessibility in a simulated human gastrointestinal tract model. They examined Vitamin D’s bioaccessibility, or the amount it was released in the gastrointestinal tract, becoming available for absorption, and found it “significantly decreased from 80% to 74%” with the addition of E171. In the experiment, E171 decreased lipid digestion dose-dependently. Researchers wrote: “The findings of this study enhance our understanding toward the potential impact of E171 on the nutritional attributes of foods for human digestion health.”  The study was published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

Another important factor that can impact the cost of titanium dioxide is market demand. If there is a high demand for titanium dioxide, suppliers may increase their prices in order to maximize their profits. Conversely, if there is a decrease in demand, suppliers may lower their prices to remain competitive in the market. Additionally, economic factors such as inflation and exchange rates can also play a role in determining the cost of titanium dioxide.
