Titanium Dioxide
(E 171)
Titanium Dioxide is an inorganic pigment produced synthetically
to obtain a very clean white shade of high opacity. It is the Anatase
form that is most commonly used in the food industry but the harder
Rutile form has recently also been permitted for the colouring
of foodstuffs. Titanium Dioxide is totally insoluble in all generally
used food products.
