First, the biological activity of the fruits was investigated\u00a0<em>in vitro<\/em>, followed by 3DP with different starch types and proportions using two 3DP programs. All 3DP samples were characterized for their bioactive, antioxidant, physicochemical and rheological properties. In terms of biological activity, the recommended daily dose of polyphenols from the aqueous extract of\u00a0<em>A. unedo<\/em>\u00a0can protect the integrity of DNA. Moreover, it could be useful as an antimicrobial agent. All 3DP parameters significantly affected\u00a0bioactive compounds\u00a0and antioxidant capacity. The 3DP products were found to be a good source of polyphenols (632.60\u00a0mg\/100\u00a0g), among which condensed tannins were predominant (42 %). In conclusion, the fruits of\u00a0<em>A. unedo<\/em>\u00a0should be considered as a sustainable resource for the production of innovative functional foods with 3DP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/projekti.imi.hr\/biomoltox\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/01\/1-s2.0-S0308814623019052-ga1_lrg-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-609\" srcset=\"https:\/\/projekti.imi.hr\/biomoltox\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/01\/1-s2.0-S0308814623019052-ga1_lrg-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/projekti.imi.hr\/biomoltox\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/01\/1-s2.0-S0308814623019052-ga1_lrg-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/projekti.imi.hr\/biomoltox\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/01\/1-s2.0-S0308814623019052-ga1_lrg-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/projekti.imi.hr\/biomoltox\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/01\/1-s2.0-S0308814623019052-ga1_lrg-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/projekti.imi.hr\/biomoltox\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/01\/1-s2.0-S0308814623019052-ga1_lrg.jpg 1575w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The article is available at the following <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S0308814623019052?via%3Dihub\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S0308814623019052?via%3Dihub\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">link<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Authors:&nbsp;Anica Bebek Markovinovi\u0107, Dora Brdar, Predrag Putnik, Tomislav Bosiljkov, Ksenija Durgo, Ana Hu\u0111ek Turkovi\u0107, Irena Br\u010di\u0107 Kara\u010donji, Karlo Jurica, Branimir Pavli\u0107, Daniel Granato, Danijela Bursa\u0107 Kova\u010devi\u0107 AbstractThe aim of this study was to investigate the use of\u00a0Arbutus unedo\u00a0L. fruits for the production of functional foods by three-dimensional printing (3DP).
