| Salt soluble protein | 2.51±0.08b | 3.81±0.12a | 4.19±0.24a |
All values are mean±SD of three replicates (n=3).
Means within a column with different letters are significantly different (p<0.05).
All edible insect was freeze-dried defatted larvae powder (TM, Tenebrio molitor; AD, Allomyrina dichotoma; PB, Protaetia brevitarsis seulensis).
