  • The Journal of the American Institute for Conservation (JAIC) is an international peer-reviewed periodical for the art conservation profession. The Journal publishes articles on treatment case studies, current issues, materials research, and technical analyses relating to the conservation and preservation of historic and cultural works. The topics encompass a broad range of specialties including architectural materials, archeological objects, books and paper, ethnographic materials, objects, paintings, photographic materials, sculpture, and wooden artifacts. Started as the Bulletin of the International Institute for Conservation-American Group (IIC-AG), in April 1961, the Journal matured into its current form in 1977. Since that time JAIC has become a repository for the core body of conservation information through its documentation of new materials, changing methods, and developing standards in the conservation profession. The four-color publication is distributed three times a year to AIC members and museum, library, and university subscribers.

  • Titanium dioxide remains in many food products in this country because of regulatory folly by the Food and Drug Administration, which allows problematic food ingredients to remain undetected and unreviewed.

  • What is titanium dioxide? Why is it used in food products?

  •  

  • Safety is another critical aspect when considering the use of any additive in food products. Food-grade titanium dioxide is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) when used in accordance with good manufacturing practices. However, it is essential for manufacturers to adhere strictly to recommended usage levels to ensure consumer safety.
  • The European Commission banned titanium dioxide as a food additive in the EU in 2022 after the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) conducted an updated safety assessment of E171 and concluded the panel could not eliminate concerns about its genotoxicity.

  • In industrial settings, people can be exposed to titanium dioxide through inhalation. Inhalation exposure to titanium dioxide is exceedingly rare for most people. 

  • States looking to ban titanium dioxide as a food additive

  • Titanium is one of the most common metals on earth, but it does not occur naturally in this elemental form. TiO2, also known as titanium (IV) oxide or titania, is the naturally occurring compound created when titanium reacts with the oxygen in the air. As an oxide, titanium is found in minerals in the earth’s crust. It is also found with other elements, including calcium and iron.

  • The domain of cosmetics also owes much to this oxide. In sunscreens, titanium dioxide acts as a physical barrier, deflecting the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays. Unlike some other UV-blocking ingredients, TiO2 is non-irritating and well-tolerated by various skin types, making it a staple ingredient in skincare products designed for sensitive or reactive complexions.
  • Although cosmetics are not meant for consumption, there are concerns that titanium dioxide in lipstick and toothpaste may be swallowed or absorbed through the skin.

  • As a supplier of anatase titanium dioxide in coatings, we understand the importance of product quality and consistency. Our products undergo strict quality control measures to ensure they meet the highest standards. We work closely with our customers to understand their specific requirements and provide customized solutions that meet their needs.
  • In conclusion, the titanium dioxide industry is a vital sector that plays a crucial role in various industries. Manufacturers are at the heart of this industry, producing high-quality titanium dioxide products that meet the needs of customers. With constant innovation and improvement, manufacturers can continue to thrive in this dynamic and competitive industry.
  • Some consumer advocacy groups and health agencies — particularly, those at the Environmental Working Group — have been pushing federal officers at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to reconsider their existing rules on the additive, which is commonly found in processed snacks and sweets.

  • In conclusion, China's role in the global TiO2 market is significant, particularly in the paints and inks sector. With its abundant resources, advanced manufacturing capabilities, and commitment to quality and sustainability, China will continue to be a major player in the TiO2 industry for years to come. By addressing environmental challenges and maintaining a focus on innovation, China can further strengthen its position as a leading producer and exporter of TiO2 in the global market.
  • Separately, concerns have been raised about titanium dioxide impacting one's genetic code. This can be traced to a 2009 study which found that titanium dioxide nanoparticles caused DNA damage and genetic instability in mice. A 2022 study published in Food and Chemical Toxicology also raised concerns about the DNA-damaging effects of titanium dioxide as a food additive. The study noted that results evidenced a DNA-damaging effect, and added that there may also be impacts to chromosomal integrity, an indicator of cancer risk.

  • In a study published in the journal Food and Chemical Toxicology in 2016, researchers investigated whether titanium dioxide exposure led to an increase in colorectal tumor creation in mice by using a colitis associated cancer model. By measuring tumor progression markers, the researchers found that mice given titanium dioxide experienced enhanced tumor formation in the distal colon.  There was also a decrease of cells that act as a protective barrier in the colon. The researchers wrote: “These results suggest that E171 could worsen pre-existent intestinal diseases.”

  • Global TIO2 manufacturers, such as Cristal, Tronox, and Evonik, are not only competing on product quality but also on their sustainability credentials. They invest heavily in research and development to innovate new production techniques, minimize environmental impact, and cater to the growing demand for 'green' products.
