A–C Least square means with different letters within the same day of storage time were significantly different (p < 0.05); a–b Least square means with different letters within the same treatments were significantly different (p < 0.05); L*: lightness; a*: redness; b*: yellowness; SE: standard errors; AER: anthocyanin extracted residue; LD: longissimus dorsi; TMR: total mixed ration.
