C (freeze-dried), 25 (dried at 25 °C), 40 (dried at 40 °C), 60 (dried at 60 °C); Chlorophyll a (Chl a), Chlorophyll b (Chl b), Pheophytin a (Phe a), Lutein (Lut), β-carotene (βcart), Fucoxanthin (Fucx), Phycocyanin (PC), Phycoerythrin (PE), Allophycocyanin (APC). Values are presented as mean ± standard deviation. Different letters (a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h) in the same column (for a specific colorimetric coordinate) indicate significant differences (p < 0.05) according to Tukey’s test.
