  L* a* b*
Leached tea1) 50.92±0.344)a5) -0.42±0.03c 5.53±0.18b
Liquid tea2) 41.55±0.34b -0.18±0.07b 4.15±0.11c
Solid tea3) 40.15±0.49c 0.64±0.05a 6.47±0.21a
1)Leached tea is produced by leaching microwave treated Tenebrio molitor L.
2)Liquid tea is prepared by diluting the extract of microwave treated Tenebrio molitor L.
3)Solid tea is prepared by dissolving the spray dried powder of extract.
4)Values represent mean±SD (n=3).
5)a-bValues with different superscript within the column are significantly different by Duncan’s multiple range test (p<0.05).
