The data indicates means with standard deviations (three samples/treatment). Control: non-treated sample. Values with the same letter in the same column are not significantly different (p < 0.05) by Duncan’s multiple range test. Hunter “L” values = lightness; Hunter “a” values = redness+, greenness–; Hunter “b” values = yellowness+, blueness−.
