Within each tagliatelle pasta, except L⁎ and Hue° for CT and Hue° for TBT, the colour parameters changed after cooking, and especially for IBT all parameters resulted statistically different. The colour of tagliatelle pasta with B. officinalis (fresh or dried) get darker and more vivid after cooking, whereas CT reduced its chroma; the use of AE (IBT) determined a reddish/brown colour of tagliatelle pasta that increased its red component (a⁎) and reduced the hue angle after cooking. In general, only a⁎ was not statistically significant for cooking effect, whereas Hue° was not statistically significant for the interaction tagliatelle×cooking
