AL1.2–FL0.6: watermelon candy enriched with 1.2% albedo and 0.6% flavedo; AL1.2–FL1.2: watermelon candy enriched with 1.2% albedo and 1.2% flavedo; AL1.2–FL2.4: watermelon candy enriched with 1.2% albedo and 2.4% flavedo; AL2.4–FL0.6: watermelon candy enriched with 2.4% albedo and 0.6% flavedo; AL2.4–FL1.2: watermelon candy enriched with 2.4% albedo and 1.2%. Results are expressed as means ± SD for n = 3. a−eData in columns with different superscripts are significantly different (P < 0.05), as determined by ANOVA followed by the Fischer test
