Meat color parameters were not affected significantly by TP supplementation,
with the exception of yellowness and chroma (Table 4). The
effect of TP on meat color is not clear but could be related to its lycopene
and β-carotene content. Dried tomato pulp dietary incorporation up to
a level of 10% significantly improved carcass color without any adverse
effect on growth in quail (Nikolakakis et al., 2003).
