Abstract
Three-dimensional food printing (3DFP) involves the creation of edible products by structuring materials using 3D printing technology. 3DFP has garnered significant attention due to its vast potential in the food industry, offering advantages in food customization, precision, creativity, and reducing waste during food production. The key components of 3DFP include food ink materials, fabrication processes, and sensing and control technologies. This review provides an in-depth examination of these elements. First, it summarizes key considerations regarding material characteristics, and discusses both basic and advanced materials for 3DFP. Next, it explores fabrication processes, including their underlying principles, and highlights advanced 3DFP fabrication methods for producing high-quality printed food products. It also introduces sensing, monitoring, and control strategies to enhance real-time process precision and stability. The review concludes with a discussion on the future directions and prospects of intelligent 3DFP systems.
期刊介绍:
Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition serves as an authoritative outlet for critical perspectives on contemporary technology, food science, and human nutrition.
With a specific focus on issues of national significance, particularly for food scientists, nutritionists, and health professionals, the journal delves into nutrition, functional foods, food safety, and food science and technology. Research areas span diverse topics such as diet and disease, antioxidants, allergenicity, microbiological concerns, flavor chemistry, nutrient roles and bioavailability, pesticides, toxic chemicals and regulation, risk assessment, food safety, and emerging food products, ingredients, and technologies.
