The food industry has seen many changes over the last several decades — new technologies have been introduced into the way we cook, manufacture, and present food products to consumers. Digital gastronomy, which combines new computational abilities such as three-dimensional (3D) printing with traditional food preparation, has allowed consumers to design and manufacture food with personalized shapes, colours, textures and even nutrition. In addition to the personalisation of food, 3D printing of food has other advantages such as promoting automation in food preparation and food sustainability through 3D-printed cell-based meats and alternative proteins. Entire meals can be constructed just by 3D food printing alone.In this textbook, the background, principles, commercial food printers, materials, regulations, business development, as well as the emerging technologies and future outlook of 3D food printing are explored. In terms of 3D-printed materials, four main classes, are reviewed: namely, desserts / snacks (comprising of dairy products, chocolate, sugars, and dough), fruits / vegetables, meats /alternative proteins, and pharmaceuticals / nutraceuticals.This textbook has been written to offer readers keen to learn more about 3D food printing in terms of concepts, processes, applications, and developments of 3D food printing. No prior knowledge is required. At the end of each chapter, a set of problems offer undergraduate and postgraduate students with practice on the main ideas discussed within the chapter. For tertiary-level lecturers and university professors, the topic on 3D food printing can be associated to other subjects in food and nutrition, pharmaceutical and nutraceutical sciences and food engineering.Key FeaturesThe book offers the latest developments and insights into the growing 3D food printing industry. It is informative and wholesome in coverage for all aspects of 3D food printing — from its principles, printers and materials to its regulations and emerging technologies. In addition, our book is reader-friendly for all who are keen to learn more about 3D food printing, as no prior knowledge is requiredThe book is a combined effort of six professors, including Professor Chua Chee Kai, who is an active contributor to the Additive Manufacturing (AM or 3D Printing) field for over 31 years and a certified nutritionist, all of whom are experts in the field of 3D food printing, and its related sciences. Additionally, the book is also endorsed by our current Minister for health in Singapore, Mr Ong Ye Kun
