Fig. 1From: Encapsulation of a free-solvent extract of lycopene in alginate-Ca(II) beads containing sugars and biopolymersOptical microscopy images of the beads (A) and percentage of Feret’s diameter reduction with respect to alginate (A) beads (B). White beads in A correspond to control beads without lycopene. Standard deviation values are included. The letters below the columns indicate significant differences between values with p < 0.05.
