A Review on 3D Food Printing Technology in Food Processing

Abstract

The review's objectives were to discuss the understanding of 3D food printing technology, a new way of manufacturing foods, and how this technology can be applicable in the food processing industry. The 3D food printing provides a wide domain of food and nutrition-based applications. The different three-dimensional shapes of a food can be developed without the utilization of any mold by using 3D printing technology. Many industries use this technology to manufacture many distinct products. However, utilizing this technology in food processing to manufacture new foods, such as plant-based meat analogues, represents a new trend. So, it is important to understand the principle of the 3D food printing technology for applying this technology in the food processing industry properly. In this rev
