This nutrient need being gleaned from wearable sensors.Ĭould this be the future of the food industry? Could your culinary degree be rendered useless by 3D printers? The researchers believe it’s only a matter of time, The US Army has also been looking into 3D-printed food that can deliver the nutrients a soldier needs for the day.
NASA, in the United States, has been working on 3D-printed food for astronauts on long missions. They say in this post-Covid era, this lowering of the risk of foodborne illness and disease transmission could not be more appreciated. The other benefit of printing food would be that fewer human hands would handle the food. Vegans and vegetarians have the most to celebrate though as this printer would allow them to mimic the textures and flavours of real meats. Talking about the printed cheesecake, one of the researchers said,Įach ingredient hits your palette at different times, and made us realize that you can really localize flavors throughout the printed structure to get different flavor sensations depending on how you approach eating the dessert Jonathan Blutinger “Laser cooking and 3D food printing could allow chefs to localize flavours and textures on a millimetre scale to create new food experiences.” One of the advantages that come from printing food is that you can customise food to a degree not possible with conventional cooking. Printed chicken? That’s the world you’re living in. The engineers say they can also print chicken, beef, vegetables and cheese. Whatever can be turned into a paste, liquid or powder can be used as an ingredient. So, it’s not just cheesecakes they can churn out. It actually still is a market advantage when a restaurant ‘flame grills’ or uses wood-fired pizza ovens. Up until now, the kitchen has gone relatively unscathed by the advancement of technology. The researchers wanted to show that 3D printing has the potential to revolutionise the kitchen.
