Scientists at a British university have become the first make to 3D printed food — for people with swallowing difficulties.
Dr Stratakos, Associate Professor in Sustainable Agri-Food Production at UWE Bristol, said: “With our 3D printed food, there is significantly less risk of food particles sticking in the throat or the oesophagus, which can be very problematic for people with dysphagia. “As researchers we try to solve real life problems and dysphagia is a very important one. It is a growing issue due to our aging population and will become a bigger healthcare burden both in the UK and internationally.“It requires less chewing and has a specially formulated structure which gives more control of the food to the person with dysphagia.
Respondents said they would be willing to purchase the meals, which are high in fibre and protein, if they were commercially available.
