La creación de alimentos nutracéuticos (nutriciónfarmacéutico) mediante la impresión 3D constituye un avance tecnológico relevante para la elaboración de una variedad de alimentos, debido a que las características físicas y químicas de las proteínas, lípidos y carbohidratos presentes en los alimentos posibilitan la creación de formas, estructuras y texturas variadas. Estudios señalan que la incorporación de compuestos funcionales y bioactivos permite producir alimentos nutracéuticos que contribuyan de manera significativa a la salud de las personas, ya que se pueden generar productos alimenticios con mejores propiedades organolépticas que favorezcan su aceptación por un gusto real, además ofrecen la ventaja de proponer alternativas particulares para diferentes padecimientos. Hallazgos previos describen la obtención de alimentos libres de gluten, productos cárnicos a partir de fuentes vegetales y preparaciones con mayor concentración de antioxidantes, entre otros. Por lo anterior, el presente artículo tiene como objetivo exponer las ventajas que brinda la impresión 3D para crear alimentos nutracéuticos con propiedades organolépticas que el público acepte y realmente consuma. Se concluye que la impresión 3D en alimentos adquiere cada vez mayor importancia y, a medida que se incorporen y desarrollen herramientas complementarias como escáner láser 3D y software de diseño, así como materiales y componentes que hagan las máquinas más asequibles y funcionales, será posible desarrollar alimentos nutracéuticos adaptados a necesidades específicas, útiles en la vida diaria.
The creation of nutraceutical (pharmaceutical-nutrition) foods using 3D printing, according to various studies, represents a significant technological advancement for generating a diverse range of foods. This is because the physical and chemical properties of the proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates present in food allow for the creation of diverse shapes, structures and textures. Researchers report that the incorporation of functional and bioactive compounds enables the creation of nutraceutical foods that significantly contribute to human health. These foods can have improved organoleptic properties, making them more appealing to consumers and offering the advantage of creating specific foods for different health conditions. Results from various studies indicate the development of gluten-free foods, meat products from plant sources, and products with higher concentrations of antioxidants, among others. Therefore, this article aims to highlight the advantages of 3D printing for creating nutraceutical foods with organoleptic properties that consumers will find appealing and actually consume. Its concluded that 3D printing in food is becoming increasingly important, and as complementary tools such as 3D laser scanners, operating and design software as well as different materials and components that make the machines more affordable and functional are incorporated and developed, it will be possible to generate more nutraceutical foods and foods with specific ailments for each person, which are of great support in daily life.
