Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) were fed diets supplemented with astaxanthin and saponified red chilli extracts. Raw fillets resulted in a decrease of lightness (L*), hue (h*) and chroma (C*) values, and in an increase of redness (a*) and yellowness (b*) values as diet feeding time increased. Frozen fillets showed a decrease in L* and h* values and an increase in a*-, b*, and C* values, and exhibited differences of color (Delta E*) between 2.4 to 11.0 units depending on freezing time, when trout were fed diets containing 200 g-kg(-1) (SC200) and 250 g . kg(-1) (SC250) of saponified red chilli extracts compared with that obtained from feeding the trout a diet containing 100 g-kg(-1), (CP) astaxanthin. During the smoking process, L* and a* values were not significantly different (p >= 0.05), and b*, h*, and C* values increased significantly (p < 0.05) with all the experimental diets. The astaxanthin containing diet produced fillets with a more reddish-pink color than the rest of the experimental diets.
