R, CP5, CP10, and CP15 denote pasta with cricket powder at 0%, 5%, 10%, and 15% (w/w), respectively. 1 The carbohydrate content was estimated by subtracting the average content of ash, fat, and protein from 100%. 2 Energy value was calculated based on average protein, fat and carbohydrate content. Mean values denoted by different letters (a–d) differ statistically significantly (p < 0.05).
