Starch in 3D Food Printing
摘要
Starch plays a pivotal role in 3D food printing, offering structural integrity, versatility, and functionality for innovative food designs. Its unique properties, including gelation and viscosity control, enable precise extrusion and stable layer-by-layer deposition. By optimizing starch formulations—through blending with hydrocolloids, enzymatic modifications, or adjusting amylose-to-amylopectin ratios—its printability and application range are significantly enhanced. These advances facilitate the creation of complex textures, personalized nutrition, and sustainable food solutions. This study highlights starch’s potential as a key biopolymer in 3D food printing, bridging technological innovation with sustainability in the development of novel food products.
