Incorporation of Encapsulated Omega-3 in 3D-Printed Food Gels: A Study on Rheology, Extrusion, and Print Performance in Dual Ink Printing

[EN] The integration of functional ingredients into 3D food printing formulations presents both opportunities and challenges, particularly regarding the printability and structural integrity of the final product. This study investigates the effect of incorporating omega-3 fatty acids encapsulated in...

This study investigates the effect of incorporating omega-3 fatty acids encapsulated in pea protein into a model food gel composed of gelatin and iota-carrageenan. Four formulations with varying concentrations of encapsulated omega-3 (0%, 3%, 3.75%, and 6%) were evaluated for their rheological, textural, and printability properties. Rheological analysis revealed a progressive increase in storage modulus (G ') from 1200 Pa (0%) to 2000 Pa (6%), indicating enhanced elastic behavior. Extrusion analysis showed a reduction in maximum extrusion force from 325 N (0%) to 250 N (6%), and an increase in buffer time from 390 s to 500 s. Print fidelity at time 0 showed minimal deviation in the checkerboard geometry (area deviation: -12%), while the concentric cylinder showed the highest stability over 60 min (height deviation: 9%). These findings highlight the potential of using encapsulated bioactive compounds in 3D food printing to develop functional foods with tailored nutritional and mechanical properties.This study was funded by a pre-doctoral grant of Universitat Politecnica de Valencia subprograma1 (PAID-01-21), MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033/ with the project PID2020-115973RB-C22 and the Project "3D Good" of AGROALNEXT/2022/001 program.MDPI AGDepartamento de Tecnología de AlimentosInstituto Universitario de Ingeniería de Alimentos (FoodUPV)Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería Agronómica y del Medio NaturalGeneralitat ValencianaAGENCIA ESTATAL DE INVESTIGACIONUNIVERSIDAD POLITECNICA DE VALENCIARepositorio Institucional de la Universitat Politècnica de València Riunet20252025-07-30journal articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501VoRhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://riunet.upv.es/handle/10251/234589reponame:RiuNet.
