The ability to create customised food, from chilli crab to durian, can go a long way towards helping those with chewing and swallowing difficulties.

3D printing technology is not new, though it is usually associated with creating materials to build cars, planes and houses.

Some of the researchers are also working with Khoo Teck Puat Hospital to create printed meals for elderly and frail patients who have trouble swallowing food. These meals include sweet potatoes, pollack, green peas and even milk. In Sweden, two cities are already testing a new food printing technique for eldercare homes. The idea is to stimulate residents’ appetites by making the pureed food look like the real thing.

But some experts say it is only a matter of time before food printing becomes a game changer for food manufacturing and services.
