Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of food 3D printing, and more specifically relates to a shepherd's purse gel for 3D printing with high freeze-thaw stability and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] 3D printing technology is an intelligent molding technology that uses computer programs to digitize complex processing processes and realize high-precision geometric models. Food 3D printing technology combines 3D printing with food manufacturing to construct complex structures, which can promote the sustainable development of food production, simplify the supply chain, and reduce resource waste. Fruits and vegetables, as an important part of human diet, can provide carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, bioactive substances, etc. for the human body. Applying fruit and vegetable raw materials to food 3D printing can promote the development of healthy ingredients and achieve accurate allocation of personalized or dietary nutritional needs. However, due to the problems of low viscosity and weak mechanical strength of fruit and vegetable raw materials, it is difficult to achieve 3D printing. For example, fruits and vegetables with high water content have strong slurry fluidity and do not have printing rheological properties; fruits and vegetables with high fiber content have large slurry particles that are easy to clog the printing nozzle. In addition, in order to improve the efficiency of food 3D printing and the standardization of the printing system, freezing and refrigeration technology is used in the production and preparation of printing matrices, but temperature fluctuations during freezing and refrigeration will cause freeze-thaw phenomena, resulting in reduced printing performance of food matrix materials, loss of nutrients, and deterioration of flavor quality. Therefore, improving the freeze-thaw stability of fruit and vegetable matrix printing materials is of great significance for the precise formulation of 3D printing to meet personalized nutrition.

[0003] Shepherd's purse (Capsellabursa-pastoris) is a herbaceous plant of the genus Capsella in the cruciferous family, and enjoys the reputation of "the best wild vegetables". Studies have shown that shepherd's purse is rich in protein, cellulose, polyphenols, flavonoids, polysaccharides, alkaloids, vitamin C, amino acids and other active ingredients, among which the content of vitamin C and carotene is much higher than that of similar vegetables, and has the medicinal value of lowering blood lipids, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, hypoglycemic, antibacterial and other medicinal values. With shepherd's purse as raw material, shepherd's purse can be developed into a healthy leisure food with delicate taste, unique flavor, soft and delicious, and rich in nutrition through 3D printing, so that consumers can not only take nutrition after eating, but also achieve the effect of improving intelligence and health. However, after the shepherd's purse raw material is crushed, the slurry has poor plasticity and low viscosity, does not have printing rheological properties, and the functional components and flavor quality of shepherd's purse are seriously lost after freeze-thaw. Therefore, how to prepare a shepherd's purse gel printing matrix with high freeze-thaw stability is the focus of research by those skilled in the art.

[0004] Invention patent CN 114409924A discloses a Flammulina velutipes polysaccharide-soy protein gel suitable for 3D printing and its preparation method, which achieves the purpose of high-protein food processing, customized food structure, and functional food nutrition. Invention patent CN 115708539A discloses a composite food ink and 3D printing method suitable for high-precision printing, which can achieve microfilament printing at the level of hundreds of microns, improving the external visual beauty and taste of printed food. The above patents use single components such as non-starch polysaccharides, proteins, starch, etc. to mix with each other to prepare composite gels, and can only prepare high-precision high-protein printing systems, and do not involve freeze-thaw stability. Therefore, the above patents do not have the rheological properties and other properties required for 3D printing extrusion and molding.

[0005] Invention patent CN 117502656A discloses a 3D printed high-protein-polysaccharide easy-to-swallow food and its preparation method, which uses a variety of hydrophilic colloids such as cellulose derivatives, which are not easily accepted by consumers, and although its composition types are diverse, it can only provide high-protein characteristics. Invention patent CN 117064054A discloses fruit and vegetable powder-protein gel for 3D printing and its preparation method and application, which uses 180-220℃ high temperature and 0.5-2.0MPa high pressure to treat fruits and vegetables, resulting in serious loss of fruit and vegetable flavor, and the heat-sensitive nutrients in fruits and vegetables will also be severely destroyed, leaving only the color and printing performance of fruits and vegetables.

[0006] Invention patent CN 117297072A discloses a chickpea protein-based high internal phase emulsion with high freeze-thaw stability based on interface regulation, and its preparation method and application, which improves the stability of flavor components embedded in the oil phase in the emulsion gel after freeze-thaw. Invention patent CN 114027392A discloses a double-network pea protein hydrogel with high freeze-thaw stability and its preparation method, which improves the stability of the water in the network structure in the hydrogel. The above patents do not have high printing performance, which is significantly different from the material properties requirements of the 3D printing system, such as rheological properties and gel properties.

[0007] Therefore, how to provide a shepherd's purse gel for 3D printing with high freeze-thaw stability and a preparation method thereof is a problem that needs to be urgently solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the invention

[0022] The beneficial effects of the above technical scheme are: vacuum microwave-far infrared combined drying is adopted, with good uniformity, high drying efficiency, high retention of flavor quality, nutrients and color, and the shepherd's purse powder prepared under the combined drying conditions is used in the 3D printing system, which not only has the typical flavor and characteristic nutrients of shepherd's purse, but also the protein-polysaccharide mixed gel can protect the shepherd's purse system to have high printing performance before and after freezing and thawing.

[0023] Preferably, the mass ratio of the shepherd's purse powder to the pea protein-galactomannan mixed solution in step (4) is 1:4.
