The results for L, H and C values of carp burgers obtained using FBSM and RBM are shown in Table 1. Scores for hue-angle were significantly lower (p < 0.001) for the FBSM burgers than for the RBM ones, indicating a higher redness for the first mentioned. On the other hand, RBM burgers had lower chroma values (p < 0.01) indicating a more greyish colour, in contrast with FBSM burgers, which had a more vivid red colour. Mincer type had no effect on lightness values (p > 0.05).
