Abstract

Three-dimensional (3D) printing technology can break the traditional food production model and bring new development opportunities to the food industry. In this study, the effects of egg white protein isolate (EPI)–curcumin (Cur) lyophilized powder on the rheological and texture properties and printability of chicken mincemeat were studied. Then, the differences in the digestive properties and Cur bioactivity between 3D-printed meat products using Cur-fortified meat and traditional mold-shaped meat products were explored. The results show that pure minced meat and mixed ink exhibited a shear-thinning behavior, and EPI-Cur considerably improved the rheological properties of the ink and reduced the risk of collapse of 3D-printed shapes. The findings on digestion reveal that Cur in the 3DP group was stable in gastrointestinal digestion and maintained a high Cur retention. These results indicate that the addition of EPI–Cur can effectively enhance the 3D-printing characteristics and nutritional properties of minced meat and can be used to develop Cur-enhanced 3D-printed functional meat products.

期刊介绍： LWT - Food Science and Technology is an international journal that publishes innovative papers in the fields of food chemistry, biochemistry, microbiology, technology and nutrition. The work described should be innovative either in the approach or in the methods used. The significance of the results either for the science community or for the food industry must also be specified. Contributions written in English are welcomed in the form of review articles, short reviews, research papers, and research notes. Papers featuring animal trials and cell cultures are outside the scope of the journal and will not be considered for publication.
