Resumen:This review analyzes the critical interdependence among the three key components—ink formulation, printing process parameters, and post-processing—in Three-dimensional (3D) Food Printing (3DFP) and Four-dimensional (4D) Food Printing (4DFP). While extensive research addresses individual phases, a significant opportunity remains to integrate these three pillars systematically to bridge the gap between initial design and final product viability. The analysis reveals that successful 3D printing demands a formulation optimized to resist thermal and mechanical stresses; thus, printability assessments must be extended to include post-processing stability. Conversely, 4D printing intentionally exploits this relationship, utilizing post-processing (e.g., heat or pH) as a strategic trigger to activate programmed deformation. Joint optimization of formulation, printed food microstructure, and final post-processing stages is necessary to produce foods with the desired final quality.
