Abstract
Food industry is craving to develop new technologies and processes which will satisfy customers’ ambiguous wishes but also specific dietary needs. In 21st century, food allergies or food intolerances are affecting population from nurseries up to elderly stages while causing people, not only health issues but also making their nutrition plans and grocery shopping challenging and expensive. Three dimensional (3DP) food printing is a potential solution to advance current food processing techniques, but also to integrate 3DP and digital gastronomy technique to customize food products. If applied in domestic cooking or catering services, 3DP can provide an engineering solution for customized food design and personalized nutrition control, but also has the potential to redefine food supply chains. Still, people might be doubtful to eat 3D printed food due to their perception that it does not taste as good as traditional food and it appeals almost over-processed and artificial. This paper gives the short overview on 3DP techniques, devices and ingredients used for 3DP, as well as the possible future application in food manufacturing.
