All the values are mean ± SD, L*: lightness, a*: redness, b*: yellowness, letters a–c are given according to the increasing mean values, values for each parameter sharing same letter in each column represents non significance difference at (p > 0.05), values for each parameter sharing different letter in each column represents significance difference at (p < 0.05).
