Meat analogues: The relationship between mechanical anisotropy, macrostructure, and microstructure by Miek Schlangen, Iris van der Doef, Atze Jan van der Goot, Mathias P. Clausen, Thomas E. Kodger

“…Strong correlations are found between anisotropy-related parameters, such as fibre score in macrostructure, air anisotropy in microstructure, and the toughness anisotropy index from mechanical properties. Some correlations are found to be product-set independent, such as air bubble anisotropy and fibre score, indicating universal relationships within this study, while other correlations are product-set dependent, such as between fibre score and the anisotropy index of the Young's Modulus in the mung bean fine fraction product set. …”
