MUMBAI, India, Jan. 2 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541124016 A) filed by St. Pauls College Of Pharmacy, Hyderabad, Telangana, on Dec. 9, 2025, for '3d printed multi-millet cookies.'

Inventor(s) include Dr Kiranmai Mandava; Ms Thotakura Likitha; Mrs Shaik Shireen; and Dr Venkat Ratnam Devadasu.

The application for the patent was published on Jan. 2, under issue no. 01/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The invention discloses a formulation and process for producing 3D printed multi-millet cookies made from finger millet, little millet, and kodo millet blended with jaggery, butter, baking soda, and water. The dough exhibits viscosity between 80 and 100 centipoise, allowing smooth extrusion through a 1.6 mm nozzle and dimensional stability before baking. The printed cookies are baked at 120 C-200 C for about 30 minutes to yield nutrient-rich, gluten-free functional snacks with about 15% crude fiber, 6% ash, and 0.5% fat. The cookies demonstrate uniform geometry (3.10 g weight, 0.748 cm thickness, 2.30 cm diameter) and maintain hardness (3.25 N) and friability (4.67%) after 21 days, ensuring high sensory appeal and shelf-stability. The invention merges traditional grains with digital manufacturing for sustainable, personalized nutrition."
