Quadrants used for the damage scale of spinach leaves under light supplementation with LED lights. Figura 1. Cuadrantes utilizados para la escala de daño de las hojas de espinaca bajo suplementación lumínica con luces LED.
The color was measured in six random leaves selected from three random plants. The measurements were taken in the axial part of the distal sector of the leaf using a tristimulus compact colorimeter (Minolta Chroma meter, CM -2500d, Japan). The results were expressed as hue, chroma (C) and lightness (L) (25) . The longest three leaves were measured from another five random plants per repetition (to limit the length). The measurements were made with a metric rule, where the maximum length and width were represented for the distance obtained from the base to the apex of the leaf above the midrib and the greatest distance perpendicular to the central rib of the leaf, respectively (25) . The results were expressed in cm. The fresh weight (FW), dry weight (DW) and dry weight percentage (%DW) were measured with a precision balance (Radwag, AS 100/C/2, Poland) (25) . For the DW, the samples were dried in a freeze dryer (ilShinBioBase, FD5508, Korea) until reaching a constant weight. The FW and DW were expressed in g per plant. The %DW was calculated as a quotient between DW and FW, expressed as g of DW in 100 g of FW (25) .

Colour was measured from the extrusion mixtures (ER1–ER3) and from the extrudates (E1–E3). The colour of the samples was determined by a colorimeter (Minolta Chroma meter, CR-200 Handheld, Osaka, Japan). L* (lightness), a* (green-red) and b* (blue-yellow) values were recorded according to the CIELAB colour space system. The colorimeter was calibrated with a white plate provided by the manufacturer. Ten parallel measurements were conducted for all samples except for sample E1, which was analysed in 7 parallel samples.

pH and temperature were measured initially and after slaughter (15 min and 24 h, respectively) using a pH meter (Hanna Instruments, 211, Smithfield, RI, USA), and color (lightness, redness, and yellowness) was measured using a Minolta Chroma Meter (Konica Minolta, CR -400-Japan, Tokyo, Japan) according to Tashla et al. [27 (link)]. The approaches of Valizadeh et al. [28 (link)] and Adeyemi [29 (link)] were used to calculate color change (Sqrt (lightness − 94.18)2 + (redness − 0.43)2 + (yellowness − 3.98)2), saturation index (Sqrt (redness)2 + (yellowness)2), hue angle (tan − (yellowness/redness)), and browning index ((100 × (χ − 0.031)/0.17), where χ = redness + (1.75 × lightness)/(5.645 × lightness) + redness − (3.012 × yellowness)) using the color measurements. The chemical properties of breast meat (10 samples from each PJ level), including moisture, protein, fat, ash, and organic matter (100 − ash) were determined [30 ]. The total amounts of saturated, monounsaturated, polyunsaturated, omega-6, and omega-3 fatty acids were analyzed by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (Agilent Technologies, Palo Alto, CA, USA) and expressed as a percentage based on total fatty acid methyl esters using a method previously described in [31 (link),32 (link)]. Analysis of physical and chemical properties was performed in triplicate for each sample.

Evaluating Meat Color Stability

Samples packed in MAP, VP and OP were evaluated for color parameters for seven consecutive days. Color parameters: lightness (L*), redness (a*), and chroma (C*) of the steaks were measured at three different sites of each steak using chroma meter (Konica Minolta CR-410, Tokyo, Japan). Then these values were averaged for statistical analysis. Minolta Chroma meter was calibrated each time using standard white tile (L* = 94.93, a* = −0.13, and C* = 2.55), CR-A44 No.15533024 provided by the manufacturer. The colorimeter used D-65 illuminant, 50 mm aperture, and 2° observer.

Colorimetric and Multispectral Analysis of Cold-Smoked Salmon

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Colorimetric assessments (CIE, 1994) were performed with a Minolta Chroma meter, CR200
Minolta, Japan at tree defined points (Figure 1) of the raw fillets, after each processing step Changes (Δ) of colorimetric parameters and color difference (ΔE) between the raw fillet (L1a1b1) and the smoked fillet (L2a2b2) were calculated for Atlantic salmon as described by CIE (1994) and Birkeland (2004) .
Multispectral imaging was carried out on a VideometerLab system (Videometer A/S, Hoersholm, Denmark) system measuring the light reflected from a vertical cut of the cold smoked fillet stored for 14 days (Figure 1). This system is based on a high-intensity integrating sphere illumination featuring light emitting diodes (LED) together with a highresolution monochrome grayscale camera (Dissing et al., 2011) . The data acquisition was done by imaging the muscle at 18 different wavelengths ranging from 405 to 970 nm. Before use, the system was calibrated radiometrically using both a diffuse white and a dark target followed by a light setup optimized to fit the object of interest. The data collected from the image at each wavelength was an average of all pixels recorded in the area of interest of each sample.

All of examined meat quality attributes were measured directly in hanging carcasses in the longissimus lumborum muscle (LL) behind the last rib (from 35 min. to 24 h post mortem) or in meat samples taken at last rib and 1 st lumbar vertebra (after 24 hour after slaughter). Each of muscle sample was separated from the bone, external fat and epimysium and then stored in plastic bags at 0-4 °C. Acidity of muscle tissue (pH) was measured 35 min., 2 h, 3 h, 24 h and 48 h (pH 1 , pH 2 , pH 3 , pH 24 and pH 48 respectively) using a pistol pH-meter MASTER (Draminski, Olsztyn, Poland) with temperature compensation. Water-holding capacity (WHC) was measured after 24 hours by the filter paper press method (Whatman 4 filter paper) according to GRAU & HAMM method (1953) modified by POHJA & NINIVAARA (1957) . Drip loss was assessed 48 h, 96 h and 144 h (DL 48 , DL 96 , DL 144 respectively) according to PRANGE et al. (1977) . Meat color lightness (L * ) and its components (a * -red and b * -yellow) was measured 24 h with a Minolta Chroma Meter (model CR 310, Minolta, Osaka, Japan) using D65 illuminant and 50 mm orifice. Meat yield after curing and thermal processing in 72 °C was expressed by the TY (technological yield) indicator according to NAVEAU et al. (1985) .

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
