Values are the means of three replicates. Means compared with Tukey’s (HSD) test. Means within a column denoted by different superscripts differ significantly (p < 0.05). XFSorg = extra fine sorghum flour, WWC = whole white cowpea, WRC = whole red cowpea, DWC = dehulled white cowpea, DRC = dehulled red cowpea, CS = cassava starch. L* = 100 for lightness, and 0 for darkness; a* = chromaticity from green (−) to red (+); b* = chromaticity from blue (−) to yellow (+); H* = hue angle; C* = Chroma.
