additive TiO₂
It has been revealed that most of the juice shops and sugarcane juice carts [mobile vending carts equipped with heavy juice dispensers] add titanium dioxide (TiO₂) [European food additive, code E171] in sugarcane juice. Naturally, sugarcane darkens just minutes after being exposed to air due to oxidation, so TiO₂ is used to brighten its color and persuade the customers the juice is fresh.
