3D food printing (3DFP) offers a transformative approach in the food industry, diverging from traditional manufacturing techniques. The integration of food science and nutrition with 3DFP is pioneering personalized, eco-friendly, and nutrient-rich food options, overcoming limitations of traditional manufacturing methods. For the past 10 years, we have been strongly focused on creating innovative, efficient, and functional food products while allowing customization of food based on preferences for nutrition, flavor, texture, mouthfeel, and appearance. Beyond customization, 3DFP demonstrates promise in addressing pressing global challenges including food security, famine, and malnutrition by facilitating the production of fortified, shelf-stable food products suitable for resource- constrained environments. This comprehensive review explores the intersection of 3DFP with food constituents, emphasizing its potential in enhancing customization, sustainability, food safety, and shelf-life extension. Additionally, it discusses the therapeutic potential of 3D printed foods for various diseases, including gastrointestinal disorders, cancer, diabetes, neurodegenerative disorders, and food allergies. Moreover, the review examines potential food applications of 3DFP, such as in space food, food packaging, dairy industry, fruit and vegetable processing, and cereal-based foods. The review also addresses key challenges associated with 3DFP and underscores the importance of four-dimensional food printing (4DFP).
3D食品打印（3DFP）为食品行业提供了一种变革性方法，与传统制造技术不同。食品科学与营养与3DFP的结合正在开创个性化、环保且营养丰富的食品选择，克服了传统制造方法的局限性。在过去十年中，我们一直专注于创造创新、高效且功能性强的食品，同时允许根据营养、风味、质地、口感和外观偏好定制食品。除了定制之外，3DFP在应对包括粮食安全、饥荒和营养不良在内的紧迫全球挑战方面也展现出前景，它通过促进生产适合资源受限环境的强化、耐储存食品来实现这一点。这篇综述全面探讨了3DFP与食品成分的交叉领域，强调了其在增强定制性、可持续性、食品安全和延长保质期方面的潜力。此外，还讨论了3D打印食品对各种疾病的治疗潜力，包括胃肠道疾病、癌症、糖尿病、神经退行性疾病和食物过敏。此外，该综述还研究了3DFP在食品方面的潜在应用，如太空食品、食品包装、乳制品行业、果蔬加工和谷物类食品。该综述还探讨了与3DFP相关的关键挑战，并强调了四维食品打印（4DFP）的重要性。
