Provided herein are extruded food products comprising cultivated animal cells and a plant protein. Also provided are methods for preparing extruded food products.

Provided is a printing device in which a height position of an object can be accurately adjusted with a simple configuration. The printing device includes: a base part having an opening on a side and multiple first slits and second slits disposed side by side in an up-down direction; a support member for supporting the object, slidably engaged with any first and second slit among the first and second slits in a lateral direction from the opening side and being slidable through the opening between a pull-out position pulled out from the base part and a storage position stored in the base part; and a head part disposed above the support member at the storage position and ejecting ink toward the object supported by the support member.

A method and device of providing a customized drink and/or printing on a drink.

Methods of preparing a delivery system are described. Each method uses a first and second printing materials. The second printing material contains an active material such as a fragrance, flavor, malodor counteracting agent, and mixture thereof.

A system for producing a cooked food item. The system includes an extrusion chamber having a moving extrusion head for extruding an extrusion compound, and a cooking chamber arranged above the extrusion chamber and having a cooking device for cooking the extrusion compound. The system also includes a moving support surface for the extrusion compound, which can be moved between the extrusion chamber and the cooking chamber by way of a movement mechanism. The system additionally includes a storage chamber for receiving the extrusion head. The storage chamber is arranged laterally next to the extrusion chamber.

A convergent three-dimensional (3D) additive manufacturing system is disclosed which includes a header, a base, a first dispensing system mounted onto the header, the space between the header and the base adjacent to the first dispensing system defining a first zone, a second dispensing system mounted onto the header, the space between the header and the base adjacent the second dispensing system defining a second zone, the first zone, and the second zone are separated by a screen adapted to prevent contamination across the first and second zones, the first dispensing system carrying raw material for a first product, and the second dispensing system carrying raw material for a second product.

The disclosure relates to a three-dimensional printer coupled with microwave and a printing method applied for food design. A microwave heating probe embedded in the inner wall of a barrel releases microwaves at the front end, and in combination with the setting of a vertical distance between the front end of the microwave heating probe and an extrusion nozzle, the effect of instant curing of an extruded material is realized. A cooling device is disposed so as to ensure that a material to be printed in the barrel is not cured by microwave heating before the material to be printed enters the extrusion nozzle.

The present invention relates to a method for the production of an edible object, comprising providing an edible powder composition and at least one edible liquid, wherein the edible powder composition comprises a water soluble protein, a hydrocolloid and a plasticizer, and subjecting said composition to powder bed printing by depositing the edible liquid by spraying it onto the powder and thereby obtaining the edible object. Also food products obtainable with the method of the invention, particularly, a pasta, a cake object and a protein bar are disclosed.

A method of acoustophoretic printing comprises generating an acoustic field at a first end of an acoustic chamber fully or partially enclosed by sound-reflecting walls. The acoustic field interacts with the sound-reflecting walls and travels through the acoustic chamber. The acoustic field is enhanced in a chamber outlet at a second end of the acoustic chamber. An ink is delivered into a nozzle positioned within the acoustic chamber. The nozzle has a nozzle opening projecting into the chamber outlet. The ink travels through the nozzle and is exposed to the enhanced acoustic field at the nozzle opening, and a predetermined volume of the ink is ejected from the nozzle opening and out of the acoustic chamber.
