Taichung university uses 3D printing for plant-based foods
A technological university in Taichung has partnered with a biotech company to create plant-based food, such as vegetarian drumsticks and popcorn chicken, using mycoprotein and 3D printing technology. The product has garnered positive feedback for its realistic taste and texture. Plant-based food products are gaining popularity due to increasing environmental awareness, presenting a new opportunity in the vegetarian market. The university highlights the health and environmental benefits of consuming mycoprotein, which promotes gut health and reduces greenhouse gas emissions. Replicating the taste and texture of real chicken meat was a challenging process that involved converting mycelium into strands of ’meat,’ but was successfully achieved through extensive research and the use of 3D digital technology.2023/12/25 18:08 -
