Microwave-Ca2+ regulation of 3D-printed corn starch-gelatin emulsion-filled gels: Multifunctional effects on printability, dysphagia diets, and β-carotene bioaccessibility.
This study evaluated microwave (MW) heating combined with calcium chloride (CaCl2) in tailoring 3D-printed emulsion-filled gels (EFGs) for improved printability, swallowing-related texture suitability, and β-carotene delivery. The combined MW-Ca2+ treatment was associated with changes in modulus, apparent viscosity, cr...
