The HMP, LMP and control sample (CTL) formulations showed higher traces of the green pigment (-a*) and yellowness (-b*). However, the lowest green trace was observed with the addition of guar, and the lowest yellow trace was observed for samples with carrageenan, xanthan and UF added. Lower values were found by Amin et al. (2014) both for a* (1.38 to 1.71) and b* (8.1e11.17). Therefore, it is clear that the hydrocolloid added can affect the mayonnaise color, which can be attributed to the particular characteristics of each additive.
