“…Many food products have already been developed using 3D printing: chocolate structures (Lipton, Cutler, Nigl, Cohen, & Lipson, 2015; Mantihal, Prakash, & Bhandari, 2019a, 2019b; Mantihal, Prakash, Godoi, & Bhandari, 2019), cereal‐based foods with probiotics (Zhang, Lou, & Schutyser, 2018), cereal‐based snacks fortified with insects (Severini, Azzollini, Albenzio, & Derossi, 2018), dough (Liu et al, 2019), egg and rice flour blends (Anukiruthika, Moses, & Anandharamakrishnan, 2020), fruit leather (Azam, Zhang, Mujumdar, & Yang, 2018), processed cheese (Le Tohic et al, 2018), smoothies using a blend of fruit and vegetables (Severini, Derossi, Ricci, Caporizzi, & Fiore, 2018). Of these studies, only two investigated the sensory properties of the 3D printed products (Mantihal, Prakash, & Bhandari, 2019b; Severini, Derossi, et al, 2018); and neither study evaluated the 3D printed products using trained panelists, as will be completed in this study. These studies used consumers to evaluate the 3D food items; this study will use trained panelists to evaluate the sensory properties of 3D printed food products objectively.…”
