All values are mean ± standard deviation of three replicates (n = 3). a–f Means within a row with different letters are significantly different (p < 0.05). Porcine myofibrillar protein was substituted by edible insect protein at 0, 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100% (EI0, EI20, EI40, EI60, EI80, and EI100, respectively).
