Overview

Randomized trial examines the creation of stable emulsion gels for 3D printing, suggesting innovative material use.

Key Points

  • The study aims to develop a sustainable material design strategy for creating soft materials using phytosterols.
  • Utilized antisolvent precipitation to transform phytosterols into colloidal building blocks.
  • Engineered particle interfacial wettability to stabilize water-in-oil Pickering emulsion gels.
  • Evaluated the gels' rheological properties for 3D printing applications.
  • Particle size was reduced from 84.8 μm to 1.9–14 μm and the three-phase contact angle decreased to 115–131°.
  • Storage modulus of gels ranged from 2.5 to 25 kPa, demonstrating good stability with no signs of separation after 10 days.
  • Achieved 90% printing precision at a particle concentration of 9% w/v, confirming functionality as edible inks.
