The colour, odour and texture of all tested purees were equally
acceptable for the panellists (Table 3). When the additive concentration was between 0.2 and 1.2%, the colour of PACP became
somewhat “muddy/dirty”, which made those samples slightly less
acceptable compared to the control sample or purees with higher
additive percentages (Table 3). The reduction and then following
increase in colour acceptance values of PACP correlated with the
changes in colour purity values C* (Table 2). The colour of the redcoloured puree (ABCP) became slightly darker (lower L*) and
redder (higher a*) with increased percentages of extract (Table 2),
but this change did not influence the colour acceptance values
(Table 3).
