Color, Structure, and Thermal Stability of Alginate Films with Raspberry and/or Black Currant Seed Oils by Jolanta Kowalonek, Bogna Łukomska, Aleksandra Szydłowska-Czerniak

“…The color of alginate films before and after the addition of oils from both fruit seeds was evaluated by measuring color coordinates in the CIELab color space: L* (lightness), a* (red-green), and b* (yellow-blue). The lightness values ranged between 94.21 and 95.08, and the redness values varied from −2.20 to −2.65, slightly decreasing for the films enriched with oils. …”
