SJ, SPU, and SPO represent spinach juice, spinach puree, and spinach pomace, respectively; RCJ, RCPU, and RCPO represent red cabbage juice, red cabbage puree, and red cabbage pomace, respectively; 1, 2, and 10 is the substitution level (g/100 g) based on the dry weight. C: control sample. Results expressed as Mean ± standard deviation calculated from triplicate measurements. Values within a column of the same kind of pasta followed by the same superscripted letter are not significantly different from each other (p > 0.05) according to the ANOVA-Duncan test.
