Sample	l	a	b	DE	T_f (%)
E1.5	39.01 ± 0.39	-0.02 ± 0.02	0.86 ± 0.31	39.02 ± 0.38	78.17^b ± 2.87
E2.0	42.92 ± 1.74	0.02 ± 0.02	1.02 ± 0.28	4293 ± 1.75	57.50^a ± 4.83

Mean ± SD. Mean with different superscript letters along a column are significantly different (p < 0.05). Except T_f which was repeated thrice, other experiments were done in duplicate. One-way analysis of variance and Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT) in SPSS (15.0) environment were used to obtain and separate means at p ≤ 0.05, respectively.

E1.5: Film containing 1.5 mL glycerol; E2.0: Film containing 2.0 mL glycerol; E2.5: Film containing 2.5 mL glycerol; l: Lightness index; a: Red-green index; b: Yellow-blue index; DE: Color difference; T_f: Film transparency.
