Indicates essential amino acid.
Essential amino acid index was calculated according to reference essential amino acid value for human from FAO/WHO/UNU (1985).
Significant difference among treatments was presented by different letters on side of value (p<0.05).
ISP, isolated soybean protein; IIP, isolated insect protein.
