“…The colour coordinates were obtained and results were expressed according to CIEL*a*b* uniform colour space (10° observer and D65 illuminant), where: the L* value is a measure of lightness (from 0 to 100); a* is a measure of chromaticity on a green (−) to red (+) axis and b* of chromaticity on a blue (−) to yellow (+) axis. Hue angle (h * ), chrome (C*), total colour difference with respect to non-treated kiwifruit puree sample (∆E*), browning index (BI) (Maskan, 2001;Mohammadi et al, 2008) and whiteness index (WI) (Alegria et al, 2010;Moretti et al, 2007;Zanoni et al, 2007) were calculated from previously obtained colour coordinates by applying Eq. 2 to 6.…”
