ABSTRACT
This review systematically explores the pivotal role of food science and technology as a support for Phenylketonuria (PKU) dietary management. It delves into the genetic and metabolic underpinnings of PKU, highlighting the crucial need for stringent dietary regulation to manage phenylalanine levels and mitigate neurological complications. Through bibliometric analysis and current product evaluations, it identifies trends in PKU food research, emphasizing recent innovations in food formulations such as glycomacropeptide (GMP) supplements and higher appealing low-phenylalanine food products. Furthermore, it accentuates the sensory and consumer aspects of PKU dietary solutions, underscoring the importance of palatability for adherence. Notably, the review introduces 3D food printing as an emerging technology for creating personalized, nutrient-optimized, and sensory-appealing foods for PKU patients, offering a new horizon in dietary management. This comprehensive assessment underscores the dynamic interplay between nutritional science, food technology, and sensory evaluation in improving the quality of life for individuals with PKU.
