Fundamentals of 3D Food Printing and Applications provides an update on this emerging technology that can not only create complex edible shapes, but also enable the alteration of food texture and nutritional content required by specific diets. This book discusses 3D food printing technologies and their working mechanisms within a broad spectrum of application areas, including, but not limited to, the development of soft foods and confectionary designs. It provides a unique and contemporary guide to help correlate supply materials (edible inks) and the technologies (e.g., extrusion and laser based) used during the construction of computer-aided 3D shapes.

Users will find a great reference that will help food engineers and research leaders in food science understand the characteristics of 3D food printing technologies and edible inks.

Details existing 3D food printing techniques, with an in-depth discussion on the mechanisms of formation of self-supporting layers Includes the effects of flow behaviour and viscoelastic properties of printing materials Presents strategies to enhance printability, such as the incorporation of hydrocolloids and lubricant enhancers 3D printing features of a range of food materials, including cereal based, insect enriched, fruits and vegetables, chocolate and dairy ingredients Business development for chocolate printing and the prospects of 3D food printing at home for domestic applications Prosumer-driven 3D food printing Safety and labelling of 3D printed food

Engineering Plant-Based Food Systems provides a comprehensive, in-depth understanding on the technologies used to create quality plant-based foods. This title helps researchers and food processors gain an understanding of the diverse aspects of plant-based foods, with a focus to meet the current consumers' demand of alternatives to animal products. This is a one-stop source that provides maximum information related to plant-based foods to food science researchers, food engineers and food processing/manufacturers. This book will enhance their understanding of plant-based protein sources, their application, product manufacturing, and bioavailability.

In recent years, the emphasis on minimizing environmental footprints (climate change, greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, and loss of biodiversity) and human health issues related to animal source food intakes has shifted the attention of researchers, dietitians and health professionals from animal-based diets to diets rich in plant-based foods (legumes, nuts, seeds).

Explores the plant sources available for extraction of proteins, the various extraction methods and the quality and functionality of the extracted proteins Describes existing plant-based foods such as beverages, yogurts, spreads, fermented foods and meats Provides information related to various plant based functional components such as polyphenols, phytosterols, aromatics and essential oils, etc.
