Development of an Antioxidative Pickering Emulsion Gel through Polyphenol-Inspired Free-Radical Grafting of Microcrystalline Cellulose for 3D Food Printing.

ABSTRACT: The manufacture of next-generation 3D-printed foods with personalized requirements can be accelerated by in-depth knowledge of the development of a multifunctional biopolymeric-based ink. As a fat replacer in the food industry, microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) has the potential to address the growing need for sustainable healthy reduced-fat 3D printed foods. The modification of MCC structure by polyphenols gives the way to produce a multifunctional antioxidative Pickering emulsion with improved emulsifying properties. In this study, different types of polyphenols, including gallic acid (GA), tannic acid (TA), and cyanidin-3-O-glucoside (C3G), were individually used to synthesize the grafted MCC-g-polyphenol conjugates by the free-radical grafting method. Then, the antioxidati
