In today’s world, humanity's lifestyle, living conditions, increased social welfare, improved working conditions, and higher annual incomes demand the development of all sectors of society. This includes the food production industry, where product quality, shelf life, appearance, uniqueness, color, packaging, and extended preservation characteristics are highly valued by consumers. These factors have led specialists to improve the processing stages of products. The widespread use of food additives has become the primary means to meet these demands. These additives drastically change the organoleptic properties of products and contribute to their long shelf life. The major contributors to this group of additives are fine particulate food additives, such as titanium dioxide (E171), iron oxide (E172), gold (E175), silver (E174), silicon dioxide (E551), and others.
