Table 2. Texture profile analysis (TPA) of edible insect-based emulsions from three species: Tenebrio molitor, Protaetia brevitarsis seulensis, and Allomyrina dichotoma

	T. molitor	P. brevitarsis seulensis	A. dichotoma
Hardness (kg)	0.23 ± 0.04^a	0.04 ± 0.01^b	0.05 ± 0.01^b
Springiness	0.68 ± 0.08^b	0.95 ± 0.02^a	0.93 ± 0.05^a
Cohesiveness	0.49 ± 0.04^b	0.60 ± 0.04^a	0.62 ± 0.05^a
Gumminess (kg)	0.11 ± 0.03^a	0.03 ± 0.01^b	0.03 ± 0.01^b
Chewiness (kg)	0.08 ± 0.02^a	0.02 ± 0.00^b	0.03 ± 0.01^b

All values represent the means ± SDs of three replicates (n = 3).
Means with different letters, within the same row, are significantly different (p < 0.05).
