Abstract in brief

  • The study developed a laser-based technique to directly print nanostructured holograms onto consumable food surfaces, specifically dried corn syrup films, creating rainbow effects.
  • The research found that increasing sugar concentration in the syrup enhances diffraction efficiency and alters diffraction angles by changing the refractive index, affecting how light interacts with the holograms.
  • These holograms produce a wide range of visible light diffraction from violet to red, offering potential to improve the aesthetic appeal and perceptual experience of edible products.
