title: Titanium: a promising new material for food contact. A study of titanium resistance to some aggressive food simulants.
abstract: It is well known that titanium is one of the most rugged metals; therefore it has been extensively used in many critical fields. However, the lowering of price and an increased availability of titanium has made this material suitable to be used in other industrial fields, such as the food industry. The present paper reports the results of an assessment that concludes that titanium could be regarded as a candidate food-grade material.
