초록보기

 Titanium dioxide (TiO₂) is widely used in various products, including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and paints. In particular, it is commonly used as a food coloring agent in a variety of commercial foods, such as candies, chewing gums, bakery products, soups, and creamers. Recently, the European Union (EU) raised safety concerns regarding the use of TiO₂ in foods, specifically its genotoxicity potential. As a result, its use has been banned as a food additive in the EU. Indeed, many in vitro and in vivo studies have reported conflicting results about the genotoxicity of TiO₂, making it difficult to draw definitive conclusions. In addition, existing research has mainly focused on lung models, so safety evaluations related to oral intake remain limited.

During their addition to foods and subsequent ingestion, food additives may interact with food components or biological matrices, potentially altering their physicochemical properties and biological responses, including genotoxicity. Therefore, it is important to evaluate the toxicological behavior of TiO₂ in the context of these interactions.

In this study, the interactions between two different sized food-grade TiO₂ particles and food components or biological matrices, such as fetal bovine serum (FBS), albumin, and glucose, were investigated. Physicochemical properties were characterized by measuring constituent particle size, hydrodynamic diameter using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS). Cell proliferation, cell membrane damage, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, and antioxidant enzyme activity were evaluated in human intestinal Caco-2 cells. The solubility, intestinal transport and absorption of TiO₂ were assessed to determine the effects of interactions on biological responses. The evaluation of genotoxicity was performed using the comet assay and quantification of 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdg).

The results demonstrated that interactions with FBS and albumin led to increased hydrodynamic diameters compared to pristine TiO₂. Regardless of particle type and size, the solubility, intestinal transport, and absorption of TiO₂ remained extremely low. The presence of FBS or albumin reduced oxidative stress, intestinal transport, and absorption to untreated control levels, regardless of TiO₂ particle size. This tendency was consistent in the genotoxicity assessment results. Furthermore, the cytotoxicity of TiO₂ in Caco-2 cells was mainly associated with the generation of ROS. Intracellular ROS generation induced by TiO₂ was closely linked to oxidative DNA damage.

In conclusion, interactions between TiO₂ and food or biological matrices influenced physicochemical properties of TiO₂, as well as intestinal transport and toxicological responses. Furthermore, the interaction with matrices was found to mitigate the toxicological responses of TiO₂. These findings provide important data for assessing the safety of TiO₂ in the food industry.
