Color and haze measurements
were taken using a Datacolor 650™ dual-beam spectro-
photometer (Datacolor Holding AG, Lawrenceville, New
Jersey) in transmission mode.
The lightness (L*) values,
green–red (a*) opponent values, and blue–yellow (b*)
opponent values defined by the International Commission
on Illumination (CIE) color space were used to identify
differences in color, and the yellowness index (YI) was
measured in accordance with ASTM D1925.
This method tests the inhibition
of growth of S. reticulum, which is a waterborne bacteria
that secrete a pink-colored permanent stainant.
