1The lowest value is the most suitable; 2the highest value is the most suitable. A = dye total score; B = point difference between dyes and CHLB; C = point difference between xanthophylls and LUT; D = percentage difference between dyes and CHLB; E = percentage difference between xanthophylls and LUT. Different letters in rows show statistical difference among property means ().3Standard deviation; 4coefficient of variation.
