  • Patent number: 11116247
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a three-dimensional printer coupled with microwave and a printing method applied for food design. A microwave heating probe embedded in the inner wall of a barrel releases microwaves at the front end, and in combination with the setting of a vertical distance between the front end of the microwave heating probe and an extrusion nozzle, the effect of instant curing of an extruded material is realized. A cooling device is disposed so as to ensure that a material to be printed in the barrel is not cured by microwave heating before the material to be printed enters the extrusion nozzle.

  • Publication number: 20210008787
    Abstract: Disclosed are 3D printing equipment, a system, and a method for food design and production, belonging to the field of food technologies. A bipolar microwave heating antenna is disposed, to implement focused heating on a material in an extrusion nozzle. In addition, the bipolar microwave heating antenna breaks through a traditional multi-mode cavity heating method, thereby greatly reducing a volume of a heating cavity and facilitating integration with a desktop 3D printer. A microwave switch is controlled by using an extrusion instruction to achieve synchronization between extrusion and heating, and improve heating uniformity. Through joint operations of a 3D scanner, slicing software, and a 3D printer, processes of model making, slicing, and 3D printing are integrated.

  • Publication number: 20200329720
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a microwave processing method for food made of flour and rice fermented with sourdough and belongs to the technical field of food processing. It comprises: adding a sourdough to the raw material to prepare a steamed cake batter; fermenting the batter under the dielectric constant of 20˜34, the loss factor of 6.3˜9.0, the moisture content of 45˜55% and the water activity of 0.920˜0.980; and using microwave heating to obtain the microwave-steamed cake. Due to the regulating effect of the sourdough fermentation on the dielectric properties of the food material, it solves the problems of hard core, textual firmness and toughness, dryness and weak flavor caused by fast and uneven microwave heating without adding food additives; meanwhile, the sourdough fermentation process is optimized and the DY and additive amount of the sourdough are controlled to obtain the microwave-steamed cake with larger specific volume, lower hardness, more fine and uniform pores and better taste.
