Disclosed herein is a transformation system to create a nutritional substance product that obtains information regarding the nutritional substance components to be transformed, the desired transformation, and the desired properties, including nutritional content, of the transformed nutritional substance, and dynamically modifies the transformation in response to this information to optimize a nutritional, organoleptic or aesthetic value of the nutritional substance product after it has been prepared for consumption. Various component nutritional substances are individually or collectively transformed and preserved, then provided to consumers or conditioners in a format allowing retrieval of preparation instructions unique to the individual nutritional product at the time of preparation and intended to optimize a nutritional, organoleptic, or aesthetic value targeted by the transformer during transformation.

A topical high resolution image of edible ink and having a resolution of at least 100 dots per inch is applied to a top major surface of a length of food in the form of a thin fruit based paste or confection slurry by a digital imaging printer. The length of food is at a temperature of at least about 75 C. at the time of application. During application, the food is supported upon a moveable platform mounted by parallelogram links and which is moved parallel to the digital imaging printer according to a condition of the top major surface upon which the topical high resolution image is applied and detected by detecting provisions.

Disclosed herein is a conditioning system for nutritional substances. The conditioning system obtains information regarding the nutritional substance to be conditioned, the desired conditioning, and the desired properties, including nutritional content, of the conditioned nutritional substance, and dynamically controls the conditioning in response to this information optimize the organoleptic properties of the conditioned nutritional substance, while minimizing any detrimental changes to the nutritional content.
