Application of Titanium Dioxide Food Grade

 

Food grade titanium dioxide is a very common food additive in life. In general, the amount of food grade titanium dioxide does not exceed 1% of the weight of the food. A small amount of titanium dioxide is not harmful to the human body and will not affect the body. In food, it is used in frozen fruit, jelly, fried food, cocoa products, chocolate, chocolate products, hard candy, polished candy, gum-based candy, puffed food, candy chocolate product coating, mayonnaise, salad dressing, jam , solid beverages, konjac gel food, etc.

3.Is there any harm in titanium dioxide food grade?

        Although considered non-toxic, titanium dioxide, a common food additive, may also impair the ability of cells in the human small intestine to absorb nutrients and fight germs when ingested over long periods of time.

        Researchers from Binghamton University and other institutions in the United States published a report in the new academic journal “Nano Impact” that they used small intestinal cells cultured in the laboratory to simulate the impact of titanium dioxide particles with a diameter of about 30 nanometers on the intestine. . For example, intestinal cells were exposed to the amount of titanium dioxide particles contained in 1 meal for 4 hours to simulate acute exposure; and intestinal cells were also exposed to 3 meals for 5 days.

The amount of titanium dioxide particles to simulate a chronic exposure situation. It was found that acute exposure did not cause any changes, but chronic long-term exposure caused a decrease in the protrusions on the microvilli on the surface of small intestinal cells, thereby damaging the antibacterial barrier of the digestive system, reducing the speed of digestion, and affecting iron, zinc, fatty acids, etc. Absorption of nutrients, and signs of inflammation also increased.
