Abstract
The current study aimed to determine if the 3D-printing speed and temperature would impact the transferability of foodborne pathogens from the stainless-steel (SS) food cartridge to the 3D-printed food ink. Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli were inoculated onto the interior surface of the SS food cartridges. Subsequently, a model food ink was extruded with a recommended macronutrient contribution of 55.8, 23.7, and 20.5% of carbohydrates, proteins, and fat, respectively. The impact of 3D-printing temperatures and speeds on transfer rates was analysed using a Two-Way ANOVA. S. aureus was transferred more from the cartridge to the food ink with a population of 3.39, 2.98, and 3.09 log CFU/g compared to 2.03, 2.06, and 2.00 log CFU/g for E. coli at 2000, 3000, and 4000 mm/s printing speed, respectively, at 25 °C. A Kruskal-Wallis Test was employed to investigate the effect of different speeds and temperatures on the transferability of S. aureus and E. coli. Speed was the main factor affecting S. aureus transferability, while temperature (25 and 50 °C) had the greatest impact on E. coli transferability. This research seeks to advance the understanding of 3D-printing parameters in pathogen transferability and help the food industry move towards this technology's quick and safe adoption.
期刊介绍:
Food Microbiology publishes original research articles, short communications, review papers, letters, news items and book reviews dealing with all aspects of the microbiology of foods. The editors aim to publish manuscripts of the highest quality which are both relevant and applicable to the broad field covered by the journal. Studies must be novel, have a clear connection to food microbiology, and be of general interest to the international community of food microbiologists. The editors make every effort to ensure rapid and fair reviews, resulting in timely publication of accepted manuscripts.
