Abstract

A 3D food-printing technique has great potential for food customization. It offers a great variety of shapes, dimensions, etc. To obtain new suitable printing formulations, it is important to carry out printability studies. These studies seek to know the shape stability of formulations that are related to rheological and textural properties. Some authors are correlating printability with rheological and physico-chemical parameters. The objective of this study was to characterize the textural and rheological properties by means of extrusion and oscillatory tests, respectively, of three gels of different formulations for predicting their printability. The gels are composed of porcine gelatin plus iota-carrageenan (Gp + I), bovine gelatin with kappa-carrageenan (Gb + K) and methylcellulose (MC). t. The results showed that Gp + I and Gb + K need higher values of maximum force in an extrusion test than MC, but MC had less deviation in force value during the extrusion test. The three samples showed a predominantly elastic behavior and damping factor (tan ¿) between 0.14 (Gb + K) and 0.37 (MC). It was estimated that the maximum height of the samples should be 0.8 cm, 1 cm and 0.008 cm for Gp + I, Gb + K and MC, respectively, to exhibit 5% deformation after 1 h for a 3 cm diameter printed cylinder

Impact and social visibility

From the perspective of influence or social adoption, and based on metrics associated with mentions and interactions provided by agencies specializing in calculating the so-called "Alternative or Social Metrics," we can highlight as of 2026-04-06:

  • The use of this contribution in bookmarks, code forks, additions to favorite lists for recurrent reading, as well as general views, indicates that someone is using the publication as a basis for their current work. This may be a notable indicator of future more formal and academic citations. This claim is supported by the result of the "Capture" indicator, which yields a total of: 13 (PlumX).

With a more dissemination-oriented intent and targeting more general audiences, we can observe other more global scores such as:

    Continuing with the social impact of the work, it is important to emphasize that, due to its content, it can be assigned to the area of interest of ODS 2 - End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture, with a probability of 48% according to the mBERT algorithm developed by Aurora University.
