Antonio Derossi

Antonio Derossi is Associate Professor and PI of the Emerging Technologies and Food Formula Lab at University of Foggia – Italy. His scientific work has addressed a broad range of topics, including mass transfer and preservation processes, shelf-life modelling, food microstructure, functional and customized foods, and advanced food manufacturing. A substantial part of his recent research has focused on 3D food printing, with contributions on food printability, process optimization, high-speed deposition, texture programming, and the development of fruit- and vegetable-based printed products. More recently, his work has expanded toward next-generation food design and sustainable food systems, including 4D foods, Morphing food, robot-enabled mixing strategies for structured food systems, and the technological potential of mycoprotein and alternative ingredients. Through this research, Prof. Derossi has contributed to advancing the engineering foundations of foods that are functional, personalized, structurally designed, and aligned with the transition toward more sustainable food production models
