Estimating the term…
The present invention provides a method for the production of edible objects by selective laser sintering (SLS) using particular multi-material powder compositions. The edible compositions comprise a binder component having a melting or glass transition temperature in the range 10-200° C., and a structural component which is non-melting at the temperatures below 200° C. The composition is then subjected SLS to obtain a three-dimensional edible object. The invention can be used to produce food products using SLS, such as a bakery product, a dry mix for beverage, an instant soup or a confectionery product, among others.
Method for the production of an edible object, comprising providing an edible powder composition suitable for selective laser sintering, wherein the edible powder composition comprises a binder component having a melting or glass transition temperature in the range 10-200° C., and a structural component which is non-melting at the temperatures below 200° C., and subjecting said composition to selective laser sintering to obtain the edible object;
The method according to claim1, wherein the composition comprises at least 10 wt. % of the structural component based on the total weight of the composition.
