Results are means ± standard deviation (n = 3). Values across rows followed by different letters are significantly different (p < 0.05). Distil: distill water C6H8O7: citric acid and Na2S2O7: Sodium metabisulphite, L∗: lightness, a∗: redness (+60) & (−60) greenness and b∗: yellowness (+60) & (−60) blueness.
