Substitute for TiO2
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is banned as a food ingredient in the EU; other countries are planning to do the same. Manufacturers face the challenge of finding a safe alternative. White Diamond is a natural white alternative that can replace TiO2 in food applications. It provides whiteness and opacity for a variety of food products. Free of nanoparticles, easily metabolized and with additional nutritional benefits, it is the most cost-effective natural white alternative currently available. It delivers whitening solutions for bakery creams, powder beverages, hard-boiled candies as well as pan coatings for all kinds of confectionery and is also suitable for a wide range of other applications. Highly compatible with other ingredients and acid stable, White Diamond is a globally accepted food additive. Döhler GmbH; Darmstadt, Germany, www.doehler.com
