The futuristic technology of three-dimensional (3D) printing is an additive manufacturing that allows obtaining creative and personalized food products. In this context, the study of food formulations (named as "inks") to be processed through 3D printing is necessary. This work investigated the use of dry heating treatment (DHT), a simple and safe method, to improve the wheat starch properties aiming to produce hydrogels to be used as "inks" for 3D printing.
