What Is The Prospect of Food Printing?

With the development of science and technology and people's attention to food safety and nutrition and health, edible printing technology has a broader application prospect in food industry. Food printing technology, as a new food processing means, has gradually emerged in China in recent years. It is characterized by safety, environmental protection and traceability, which escorts food safety and also brings new development opportunities for the food industry. Then what is the prospect of food printing? In this article, it will be introduced.

Edible food printing refers to printing various patterns, texts, QR code and other information on the surfaces of foods in a digital way through a specific food printing machine. It is mainly divided into two types: one is directly printed on the surfaces of foods, such as cookies, cakes, chocolates, candies, etc., so that the surface of food presents a unique pattern and color to meet consumers' needs for the appearance and taste of food; The other is to print on an edible film, and then attach the film to the surface of food, such as fruits, vegetables, etc. Food printing uses environmentally-friendly, non-toxic printing materials to ensure food safety.

In the application field, edible food printing has a wide range of application prospects. First of all, in the bakery industry, edible food printing can be used for the decoration of cakes, cookies, bread and other products to improve the beauty and added value of products. Secondly, in the catering industry, edible printing can provide restaurants with personalized meal decoration and enhance the dining experience of customers. In addition, in the children's food market, edible printing technology can design creative food based on children's favorite cartoon images and colors to attract children's attention and promote children's eating.

Edible printing has obvious advantages over traditional food decoration methods. First of all, traditional food decoration methods often need manual operation, low efficiency and easy to produce errors. Edible printing can realize automatic production, improve production efficiency and reduce costs. Secondly, traditional food decoration methods often use non-food grade pigments and additives, which has certain food safety risks. The materials used in edible printing are food-grade, safe and reliable. In addition, edible printing can be customized according to customers' needs to meet their diversified demands.

In terms of future development prospects, edible food printing has a huge market potential. With the increasing attention of consumers to food safety, nutrition and health, edible printing technology will become an important development direction of the food industry. First of all, food printing can be applied to the development of functional food, by printing nutritional supplements and functional ingredients on the surface of food, improve the nutritional value of foods. Secondly, edible printing technology can be applied to the establishment of food safety traceability system, by printing QR code or bar code on the surface of food, to achieve food source and quality traceability. In addition, with the development of 3D printing technology, the future food printing is expected to achieve three-dimensional printing of foods, providing consumers with more diversified food choices.

In short, food printing has a broad application prospect in the food industry. It can not only improve the beauty and added value of foods, but also meet consumers' concerns about food safety, nutrition and health. It is believed that with the continuous progress of science and technology, edible printing will play an increasingly important role in the food industry.
