Results are expressed as mean ± standard deviations of three replicates. Different superscript letters in the same row indicate significant differences between mean values (one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey multiple comparisons posthoc test, p < 0.05). The CIELab color space was used to determine the coordinates L * (black (0) to white (100)), a * (green (−) to red (+)), and b * (blue (−) to yellow (+)).
