£NEC = Non-enhanced Control; 0.25 CG = 0.25% κ-Carrageenan + 1% Sea salt + 0.3% Sodium tripolyphosphate; 0.50 CG = 0.50% κ-Carrageenan + 1% Sea salt + 0.3%
Sodium tripolyphosphate; 2.5 KL = 2.5% Potassium lactate + 1% Sea salt + 0.3% Sodium tripolyphosphate.
a, b, c, d Means with different superscripts within a column and within the same quality grade are different (P<0.05).
m,n,o,p,q,r,s Means with different superscripts within a row are different (P<0.05).
±SE for a* = 0.79; Saturation Index = 0.77
