In 3D food printing, an object is built layer by layer from a 3D computer design without the use of molds or assembly steps. Food Additive Manufacturing provides up to date, comprehensive, and novel information about 3D food printing, featuring both research and industry perspectives. It discusses the fundamentals of food additive manufacturing, including material characteristics, formulations, slicing/modeling, and precise/efficient printing. It also explains different food additive manufacturing processes, including pretreatment, post treatment, and intelligent detection during the printing process. It shows how 3D printing can be used for personalized nutrition, visually appetizing foods, and customized food textures. With highly detailed assessments of industry technologies and capabilities, this book will suit any professional seeking to advance their understanding of 3D printing processes and their application to the food industry.Key Features: Provides creative information in 3D/4D/5D food printing Presents novel ideas and applications for 3D printed food products Provides practical examples for such applications as easy to swallow and digestible foods
