Titanium Dioxide is a highly effective white food colourant used to create a bright, opaque, or cloudy appearance in a wide variety of edible applications. It is commonly found in over 900 food products—including confectionery, baked goods, creams, fondants, and sauces like mayonnaise—where it helps achieve consistent colour and enhanced visual appeal.
This particular grade is approved for safe-food use in Canada and the United States, offering a fine, bake-stable powder ideal for professional kitchens, bakeries, and chocolatiers.
Applications
Titanium Dioxide can be used to:
-
Whiten chocolate and cocoa butter without affecting texture
-
Brighten icings, fondant, and royal icing for cakes and cookies
-
Create opaque finishes in macarons and glazes
-
Control opacity in emulsions, such as white sauces or flavoured creams
-
Modify the base tone of pastel-coloured preparations
Because it contains no water, it is ideal for oil-based applications such as fat dispersions, compound coatings, and high-fat batters.
