“…According to the classification scale employed in Section 2.6.5, a small change in the total color difference was noticed due to values of ΔE between 0.5 and 1.5 (Table 5). An increased lightness (L* values) due to high pressure treatment of proteinaceous products due to protein denaturation have been reported (Chevalier, Le Bail, & Ghoul, 2001;Marcos, Aymerich, & Garriga, 2005;O'Flynn, Cruz-Romero, Troy, Mullen, & Kerry, 2014; Ojagh, Núñez-Flores, López-Caballero, Montero, & Gómez-Guillén, 2011). According to Swatland and Barbut (1999) the increase in lightness may be explained by an increased light scattering of the denatured proteins.…”
