Values expressed as mean ± SD (n = 3). Values with superscripts in the row indicate that there is significant difference between samples (p ≤ 0.05) from t tests

Where, L value (0–50) indicates darkness and a high number (51–100) indicates lightness, a-value indicates redness to greenness and b-value indicates yellowness to blueness
