Abstract
⺠X-ray microtomography was able to reconstruct the 3D microstructure of meringues. ⺠Citric acid, sugar and EW type impact microstructural and mechanical properties. ⺠Low sugar/EW ratios and high citric acid levels increase meringues air phase. ⺠Low sugar/EW ratios and high citric acid levels determine softer texture. ⺠Dry and frozen EWs and EWs from old eggs had the worst mechanical performances.
