With everything from printed metal airplane wings to replacement organs on the horizon could printed food be next?
Think of making a sundae using a self-dispensing ice-cream machine. Building by extruding material through a nozzle is quite similar to how certain 3d printers called fused deposition modellers (FDM) work today.
They ve gone so far as partnering with The french Culinary Institute in Manhattan to print personalised chocolate
and cheese cookies cubes of pureed turkey and celery paste and even tiny spaceships made of deep fried scallops.
Novelty food suppliers have become early adopters of similar technology. Various chocolate printers are on the market
and for Valentine s day in Japan this year you could order chocolate made from a 3d scan of your face.
Further examples include a Burritobot on Kickstarter last year and Google serving 3d printed pasta. Other 3d printing technologies have been investigated for use with food.
In 2007 Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories introduced the Candyfab 4000 a DIY printer based on a modified selective laser sintering technique.
The method utilised a focused heat source moving over a bed of sugar to fuse large 3d sugar sculptures.
DDD) acquired The Sugar Lab a startup producing edible 3d sugar confections. The Sugar Lab had adapted 3d Systems'Color Jet Printing (CJP) technology to print flavoured edible binders on a sugar bed to fabricate solid structures.
Beyond novelty printed food could provide serious medical benefits. The netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific research (TNO) announced they ll build printers to reassemble pureed food to look like the original think 3d printed broccoli florets from pureed broccoli.
Beyond medical conditions TNO has proposed printing customised meals with varied levels of the basic food components like carbs protein and fat for everyone from seniors to athletes to expectant mothers.
And NASA sees 3d printed food as a revolutionary way to make personalised meals for astronauts.
Their ultimate goal would be to print a pizza. Beyond providing cosmic delivery food would also be tailored for astronauts'daily activities.
In this area one of the most interesting and perhaps controversial areas is the debate about printing meat.
Some suggest 3d printed meat could provide high quality protein for a growing global population without increasing stress on arable land
In 2011 Modern Meadow took up the challenge setting out to make ecological and economical leather and meat from bioprinters.
They cultured biopsied bovine cells to produce sheets of tissue eventually forming either meat or hide.
and ate cultured pork live at a TEDMED conference. Currently it is very expensive to produce tiny volumes of printed meat with estimates of thousands of dollars to make a pound of meat in the lab
. But could the process be scaled up and cell cultures made cheaper? Biopsies aren t the only sources for culture.
Industrial scale printing of meat could additionally use cells grown in an algae-based cell culture
For vegetarians printed meat somewhat circumvents concerns about harmful or destructive use of animals for food.
whether 3d printed meat is halal or kosher. There may not be an issue if there is no animal slaughter involved.
While we typically oeeat with our eyes and printed meat could be made in familiar shapes
That is if printed meat could be proven safe. Printed meat may result in a debate akin to that on GMO foods.
Certainly the public will want to know whether printed foods are safe for human consumption. Consumers will most likely demand adequate protections to ensure the development of printed foods does not limit their access to
whether they eat oereal meat or try printed meats so labelling regulation will be important. Farming communities and those in agricultural food production will also want a voice about
if when and how their industry will be transformed by industrialised printed meat. Early identification or those affected and extensive engagement with the range of community concerns about printed foods is warranted.
While no specific printed food exploration exists yet similar forms of community engagement have been developed in Australia through the Science and Technology Engagement Pathways framework (STEP.
Other entities like Riaus an Australian nonprofit has been active in stimulating community debate specifically about synthetic meat.
if printed meat can be made economically viable and if consumers will accept it. However the benefits of 3d printed food could be monumental.
and into several sections like the layers of a cake. One section could house the crew and another the plants in experimental growing media such as simulated Mars soil or fluid for hydroponic gardening.
Initially a vegetarian diet would seem logical as it is the simplest in terms of agricultural management. Soybeans provide basic proteins capable of sustaining human health.
Greens sprouts and even seaweed may help create a balanced diet. Indeed astronauts have grown successfully peas
and other sources of nutrients that people take for granted here On earth. At least in the early years Red planet residents will not have access to fruits containing Vitamin c
Mushrooms provide essential nutrients including Vitamin d and Vitamin b-6. Easy to grow and harvest mushrooms are ingredients in many popular dishes.
The fungi could grow in compost created using waste material from other agricultural processes as well as sanitary waste.
They have a tremendous advantage over many other meat sources because of their extremely efficient conversion of vegetable matter into insect protein.
In addition the husbandry associated with raising grasshoppers is compared relatively simple to that needed for cattle chickens
So grasshoppers may become a meat staple for Mars residents. Of course this would depend upon the guaranteed reliability of grasshopper containment systems.
Scientists have synthesized successfully meat using a 3d printer to align stem cells from animals in laboratory Petri dishes creating both hamburger
and chicken from materials that were never part of a living animal. Perhaps in the future the list of 3d printed proteins would also include fish.
NASA has experimented also with using 3d printers for making chocolate and even pizza. The grasshoppers would make a better dessert if dipped in the 3d printed chocolate.
Perhaps in the future the list of 3d printed proteins will include fish. While the exact forms that agriculture would take on Mars are still very much an unknown at least one thing is clear:
which can help make food last longer without losing nutrients. Once developed it needs to be integrated into the global supply chain of food production.
Cinnamon oil is another natural product that has been shown to delay postharvest rotting in bananas and extending their storage life for up to 28 days.
and to accept a carbon source of corn-based sugar. The microorganisms feed on the plant-derived sugars and produce PHA.
The PHA is separated then from the bacteria and made into pellets that can be molded into plastic products.
Mango Materials'process uses bacteria grown in fermenters to transform methane and oxygen along with added nutrients (to supply excess carbon) into PHA.
whereas Mango Materials uses waste methane which is considerably less expensive than sugar. By using methane gas as the feedstock we can significantly drive down costs of production Morse says.
We need to feed more people with limited agricultural land and resources. We need to make better use of land light and logistics for an increasingly urban population.

including sugar cane and maize (corn). But most of the biomass produced in agriculture and forestry lies unused in more-complex chains of sugars, for example lignin and cellulose.

Deficiencies in these vital nutrients are associated with increased rates of osteoporosis cancer and other diseases.
It hovers lowers and then repositions a pair of syringes over six petri dishes. In short rapid-fire bursts they extrude the milky paste.
Soon three little hexagons form in each dish. After a few minutes the hexagons grow to honeycomb structures the size of fingernails.
But it's much different and much easier to print with plastic metal or chocolate than to print with living cells.
So as mechanical engineers began to build early 3-D printers tissue engineers tried growing replacement organs in a lab. They started by pipetting cells into petri dishes by hand.
An organ requires networks of blood vessels to distribute nutrients and oxygen. Without this core function cells will wither and die.
According to the Food and Drug Administration liver toxicity is the most common reason for a drug to be pulled from clinical trials as well as from the marketplace after it's been approved.
There's still no reliable way to evaluate how a drug will affect the human liver before it's ingested not even animal trials.
At Stanford researchers have tried to get around this problem by breeding mice with livers made up mostly of human cells.
Scientists at MIT have built miniature liver models using micropatterning the same soft lithography technique used to put copper wires onto computer chips.

#The First Lab-Grown Hamburger Is Servedsince 2008 Dr. Mark Post has been working on growing edible meat in a laboratory.
Today at an event in London the first in-vitro hamburger has been served. Muscle stem cells were taken from a cow's shoulder in a gentle biopsy
so they wouldn't be flabby. 20000 cells were assembled then into a burger bound with bread crumbs
and egg (but curiously no salt) colored with beet juice and saffron and presented to the public.
Dr. Post a cardiovascular biologist from Maastricht University brought his raw burger out in a petri dish under a cloche.
On a television set chef Richard Mcgeown opining that it looked a little paler than normal cooked it in butter
It is close to meat; it is not that juicy. I missed salt and pepper. More than I expected of the the structure it's not falling apart.
Josh: The texture the mouthfeel has a feel like meat. The absence is the fat. It's a leanness.
But the bite feels like a conventional hamburger. The technology to grow fat cells is still lacking--Schonfeld characterized the texture as like an animal protein cake--but that is the next step for the team.
I think it's a very good start said Dr. Post. This was mostly to prove that we can make it.
The following challenge will be to scale up the process. Dr. Post currently estimates that it will take 10 to 20 years before cultured meat can be mass-produced.
For the last few years the project has been funded by an anonymous benefactor who Dr. Post revealed today is Sergey Brin.
Can you make a steak? In theory. We are currently focusing on minced meat products using shorter fibers
because there is a limitation on the diffusion distance of oxygen and nutrients into the center of the tissue.
Can they use this technology to make burgers from less common animals? Penguins? I don't like the smell of penguins
. but if we successfully start growing meat then what do we do with all of our live stock?
Thats the name brand I'll choose Tasty Invitro Meats or TIM'sbeef chicken or Exotic:
what about human burgerseven if that DID qualify as a hamburger and I don't think it does you couldn't get
I can enjoy a nice juicy hamburger without having to kill something for it. I thought of a name:
Grown Meat. which would be analogous to freedom eggs organic foods etc and would signify any real meat that has not been taken from animals but grown).
Or Growth Meatwe can't just keep ading more and more cattle pigs chickens ect. The amount of livestock we have now has a large environmental impact.
This could be a viable alternative to supplement our food supply cheers. yea sure say good bye to all those cows why raise em
when you can brew them (i assume cheaper) sooo except for the amish and mennonites and zoos and peta freaks cows will go extinct well we might keep a herd for genetic improvement
Does it have less purines that a regular hamburger (I suffer from chronic gout)? Two issues first doesn't tissue culture require fetal bovine serum
and chicken up to compete with the growing demand. This is certainly good news! We can reduce the number of livestock and stop KILLING helpless animals!!!
One of them was claiming that a cow uses 28 calories of grass to make a calorie of beef
Those 28 calories of grass the cow uses to make a calorie of beef are mostly celuloise a long chain poly-sacaride that is indigestable to humans and most other mammals.
what if this technology catches on and undercuts farm and ranch meat producing tens or hundreds of TONS a day from a single vat and some psycho or terrorist contaminates the vat with the Sheep Scrapie Mad cow disease Kuru or Croitzfeld-Jacobs Disease prion?
and then the unused food value that remains in the blood of the calf after slaughter is available for meat production plus some additionally highly processed nutrients. 2) Amoral
As long as the growth medium production does not require even more productive land to produce the cultured meat than actually running animals on the land.
Bio meat seems like a good enough name. And it's probably what it will end up being called anyway.
That can can make for a fun game or be used to track more complex measurements the ruler can apparently measure the angles on a hand-drawn triangle).
Meat only counts as health food if you are in a stone-age culture. Another squirrely climate story brought to you by the crazies@poop science.
Large trees however could survive for several decades thanks to slow metabolism and substantial sugar stores.
More likely though we would simply alter course significantly depending on how close we get. Just think of how many earths could fit in-between the surface of the earth and the moon alone.
but the inventory of even canned food would only last a few weeks at most. Fish would probably start dying soon too
We could keep livestock alive perhaps for a few months longer with reserves of feedstock supplies like hay
Pie-in-the-sky though the idea may seem it has secured the backing of billionaire Peter Thiel's Breakout Labs which funds innovative companies.
What you're doing is feeding it from the bottom he says adding that simply closing the lower vents that feed hot air will stop the cycle and kill the tornado.
