Examination of food material composition to enable the expression of complex and various textures by 3D food printers

Abstract

3D food printing for shaping food is a new technology that is gaining attention in the food industry and food science field. And 3D food printers have contributed to the advancement of food texture research. The application of food printing is expected to lead to the development of new ways of using it and expanding opportunities. By selecting a 3D food printer that can precisely control the manufacturing process, the formation of foods with complex food textures will be implemented. In this study, we examined the food material composition for 3D food printing, 3D food shaping, and post-processing for developing complex oral tactile.
