Sorghum Proteins Offer Resilient 3D Printable 'Bioink' Base

Sorghum proteins offer resilient 3D printable 'bioink' base

Food scientists are paving the way for 3D-printed food and pharmaceuticals based on drought-tolerant grain sorghum protein that won't turn into a blob.

Sorghum Proteins Provide Durable 3D Printable ‘Bioink’ Foundation

In a groundbreaking advance for food technology and pharmaceutical manufacturing, researchers at the University of Arkansas have unveiled a novel 3D-printable bioink derived from sorghum proteins. This innovation leverages the unique hydrophobic properties of sorghum—a drought-resilient grain known for its remarkable adaptability to diverse climatic conditions—to create highly stable and printable gels suitable for producing […]
