Abstract
Plant Based Ingredients to make edible inks for 3D food printing might help solve issues about food quality, food nutrition, and sustainability of food. We examine the molecular, functional, & nutritional characteristics of different plant proteins, plant Fibers & Hydrocolloids to determine their potential & their use as food industry. Additionally, we look at the possibilities of plant protein-based edible inks for 3D printing applications, where a material's form or other characteristics might alter over time to allow for precise issue profiles & texture modulations. Because of their superior structure-forming capabilities, and also their functional & nutritious qualities, Wheat gluten, pea protein, Lentil protein & soy proteins are frequently utilized as an ink f
