Scholarship code: SRS-24012
The CSIRO Industry PhD Program (iPhD) is a four-year research training program, focusing on applied research that benefits industry by solving real-world challenges. It aims to produce the next generation of innovation leaders with the skills to work at the interface of research and industry in Australia.
Project overview
3-D food printing of texture modified foods texture modification of food is essential for the safety of people living with dysphagia. However, people eating texture modified food often report low levels of meal satisfaction due to lack of variety in texture and poor presentation. 3D food printing offers opportunities for improved meal experience as food can be printed to appear real and/or appetising while reducing the amount of handling required when compared to food moulds. EzyChef is the leader in production and distribution of texture modified fruits and vegetables and is driven by the following value: ‘making a positive difference in people’s lives through texture modified food solutions’. Providing 3D food printing solutions for texture-modified foods therefore aligns with this value due to the positive impact this innovation may have on people’s meal experience. The main aim of the project is to develop a reliable and repeatable protocol for 3D printing of texture modified foods (IDDSI Level 4) to produce visually appetising food which is stable (referring to printing stability) and can be implemented in residential care settings, tertiary hospitals, or at home. The outcomes of the project will directly inform the commercialisation of 3D food printing.
This scholarship is open to Australian citizens, Australian permanent residents, and New Zealand citizens.
