3D Printing of Foods

Explore the fascinating realm of 3D food printing and its applications 

In 3D Printing of Foods,  a team of distinguished researchers delivers a comprehensive and  eye-opening exploration of the rapidly developing field of 3D food  printing. In the book, the authors offer readers an examination of “food  printability,” the foundation of 3D food printing. They discuss the  enormous research gap in the subject that remains to be addressed and  envisage a robust discipline in which food processing techniques,  combined with 3D food printing, gives rise to a range of synergistic  applications. 

 In addition to treatments of safety  challenges and research requirements, the book tackles food industry  market trends and consumer preferences, as well as the globalization of  printed foods and consumer perception of 3D printed foods. 3D Printing of Foods also explores the integration of electrohydrodynamic processes and encapsulation with 3D food printing. 

 Readers will also find: 

• Thorough introductions to 3D printing technology, 3D printing approaches, and food components and their printability
• In-depth  examinations of the factors affecting the printability of foods,  printability and techniques, and natively printable foods
• Practical discussions of pre-processing of non-printable foods and alternative ingredients used in food printing
• Comprehensive explorations of 4D printing technology and the applications of 3D food printing technology

 Perfect for 3D printing professionals and enthusiasts, as well as food scientists, 3D Printing of Foods is an indispensable resource for anyone interested in a one-stop  resource addressing this cutting-edge technology with nearly limitless  potential.
