摘要

Production of alternative proteins is crucial for the development of future protein resources. This study explored the creation of sustainable animal resources by combining extrusion molding and three-dimensional (3D) printing technologies. Extrusion effectively organizes vegetable proteins at high temperatures and pressures to replicate meat-like textures, and high-moisture extrusion successfully mimics the fiber structure of conventional meat. However, many meat analogs products still differ from conventional meat in terms of sensory properties such as texture, juiciness, and flavor, indicating the need for quality improvement. Researchers have leveraged 3D printing technology to incorporate fat analogs and enhance the appearance and texture through muscle fiber simulation. This technology allows for precise arrangement of muscle fibers, formation of adipose tissue, and marbling, thereby improving the overall sensory experience. By combining extrusion and 3D printing, we can enhance the nutritional and organoleptic qualities of meat analogs, ultimately meeting consumer expectations and achieving a balance between plant- and animal-based materials.
