Partial characterization of the digestive proteases and α-amylase of the larvae of the red palm weevil, Rhynchophorus ferrugineus
Activity of digestive enzymes (trypsin, chymotrypsin and α-amylase) in soluble protein extracted from the larval gut of Rhynchophorus ferrugineus was studied using specific substrates and enzyme inhibitors. Digestive enzyme activity showed a noticeable increase between day 5 and day 35. However, the...
