Researchers from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore), Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) and Khoo Teck Puat Hospital (KTPH) have developed a new way to create food inks from fresh and frozen vegetables, that preserves their nutrition and flavour better than existing methods.
Food inks are usually made from pureed foods in liquid or semi-solid form, then 3D-printed by extrusion from a nozzle, and assembled layer by layer.

Researchers at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore), Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), and Khoo Teck Puat Hospital (KTPH) have collaborated on a new way to create “food inks” using fresh and frozen vegetables. The researchers say that the food inks preserve the nutrition and flavor of fresh and frozen vegetables better than existing methods.
A food ink is typically made from puréed foods in a liquid or semi-solid form that is 3D printed by extrusion from a nozzle and assembled layer by layer. Often in a medical setting, puréed foods are served to those suffering from issues with swallowing. In the healthcare setting, silicone molds are often used to shape puréed foods to make the food look more appetizing to those eating it.
Singapore has had a burgeoning reputation in LegalTech for some time now, well before the pandemic struck its shores. Whether it is the government or end-users like law firms and in-house teams, they have taken strides to embrace and launch initiatives to advance the use of LegalTech. The pandemic has unsurprisingly quickened the pace of LegalTech innovation, but there is reason to believe that the technological evolution of the country’s legal sector will continue long after the impact of COVID-19 has passed.

Over the past few years, Singapore has put in place multiple initiatives that have made it conducive for the growth of LegalTech innovation. These include a growing number of centres of excellence (COEs) related to technology and LegalTech as the country strengthens the existing infrastructure to facilitate digitalisation in the legal industry. “Singapore has an excellent ecosystem for LegalTech innovation in recent years as there is s
