Three dimensional printing characteristics, post-processing evaluation, and flavor analysis of blueberry composite gel system

  • 摘要: 为探究κ-卡拉胶添加量对凝胶体系可打印性、冻干复水对3D打印产品形状保真度和风味变化的影响,该研究通过流变特性、水分状态、红外光谱、打印成型性、质构特性和微观结构分析凝胶体系的3D打印特性,通过冻干、复水后的形状保持度分析凝胶体系冻干复水后成型性,通过气相色谱-离子迁移谱分析了蓝莓原浆、3D打印产品、复水产品之间挥发性化合物的变化。结果表明:随着κ-卡拉胶添加量增加,凝胶体系产生了更强的氢键,硬度和黏聚性增加、网络结构变得致密,这导致其流动性减小,拥有了更强的自支撑和抗形变能力。当κ-卡拉胶添加量为2%时,凝胶体系3D打印成型性,冻干、复水后也表现出最好的表面特性和形状保真度,复水曲线与Peleg模型拟合度最高(R2=0.9592),能较好的描述复水行为。气相色谱-离子迁移谱中共检测出44种挥发性物质。大部分醛类化合物在3D打印产品、复水产品中信号显著减弱甚至消失,降低了油脂味和刺激性气味,避免产生过于刺鼻的醛类风味。(E,Z)-2,6-壬二烯醇、(E)-2-己烯-1-醇、反,反-2,4-庚二烯醛、2-庚酮、乙酸丙酯、氧化芳樟醇等挥发性化合物在复水产品中仍有较强信号检出,赋予其蓝莓特有的果香和成熟浆果的复杂香气。因此,κ-卡拉胶添加量为2%的凝胶体系3D打印特性与冻干复水成型性最好,同时复水产品能较好保留蓝莓特有的果香味,并去除刺鼻的醛类气味。本研究为蓝莓的3D打印应用提供了思路,同时为未来个性化定制便携食品的优化设计提供理论支持和实践指导。

     

    Abstract: This study aims to investigate the effects of the κ-carrageenan concentration on the printability of the gel system. The 3D printing properties of the gel system were also determined to explore the effects of the lyophilization and rehydration on the shape fidelity and the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the printed products. A series of tests was then carried out to determine the rheological properties, moisture status, infrared spectroscopy, printability, textural properties, and microstructure. The physicochemical properties of the gel system were evaluated on the shape fidelity of the lyophilized and rehydrated products. The VOCs were also characterized in the blueberry syrup, 3D printed, and rehydrated products by gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS). The results were obtained: 1) The increasing concentration of the κ-carrageenan enhanced the hydrogen bonding for the formation of a more cross-linked and compact network structure. The fluidity of the gel system was reduced to improve the self-supporting capacity for high resistance to deformation. Thereby, there was the high molding quality and structural stability of the 3D-printed products. 2) The concentration of the κ-carrageenan enhanced the hardness and cohesiveness of the 3D printed products. A denser network structure was formed after printing. The optimal performance of 3D printing was achieved in the gel system at a κ-carrageenan concentration of 2%. The lowest deviation and the most well-defined ‘FOOD LAB’ design demonstrated the superior fidelity after printing. 3) The increasing concentration of the κ-carrageenan enhanced the moisture content and hardness of the lyophilized products. There were the smooth and intact surfaces of both lyophilized and rehydrated products at a concentration of 2%. The highest shape fidelity was obtained without wrinkles or cracks. The rehydrated products with the 2% κ-carrageenan concentration exhibited the best fit to the Peleg model (R2=0.9592), indicating the superior rehydration behavior. 4) A total of 44 VOCs compounds were identified among the blueberry pulp, 3D printed and rehydrated products, including 6 alcohols, 10 aldehydes, 4 ketones, 11 esters, 4 benzenes, 6 terpenes, and 3 miscellaneous compounds. Principal component analysis (PCA) revealed that there were distinct differences in the VOCs across the three samples. The most aldehydes were markedly diminished or undetectable signal intensities in both the 3D printed and rehydrated products. The greasy and irritating odors were reduced to prevent the excessively pungent aldehydic notes. Several VOCs exhibited strong signal intensities in the rehydrated products, including (E, Z)-2,6-nonadienol, (E)-2-hexen-1-ol, 2,4-heptadienal, 2-heptanone, propyl acetate, and linalool oxide. These components greatly contributed to the characteristic blueberry-like fruity aroma and the complex bouquet typical of ripe berries. In summary, the concentration of 2% κ-carrageenan in the gel system was recommended for the optimal formability of 3D printing, superior surface properties, and shape fidelity after lyophilization and rehydration. The rehydrated product retained the characteristic blueberry-like fruity aroma while reducing the pungent aldehyde odor. This finding can offer some insights into the 3D printing applications of blueberries. The theoretical support and practical guidance can be gained to optimize the personalized, customized, and portable foods in the future.
