  • 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.”

  • Titanium dioxide, or TiO2, is a versatile material known for its exceptional refractive index, UV absorption, and photocatalytic activity. When produced in the nano range, specifically 30-50nm, these characteristics are amplified, opening up a world of possibilities. The 30-50nm TiO2 powders are widely used in applications such as sunscreens, self-cleaning surfaces, air purification systems, and even water treatment technologies due to their superior photocatalytic performance.

  • After the precipitate has been isolated, the next step is to dry and weigh the sample. This is done by heating the precipitate in a furnace to remove any remaining solvent and moisture. Once the sample has been dried, its weight is measured using an analytical balance.
  • Animal studies have shown that, when consumed as a food additive, titanium dioxide can induce intestinal inflammation.
