The Starch Branching Enzyme (SBE) Activity Assay Kit is primarily used in research and development to study the enzymatic activity of starch branching enzymes, which play a critical role in starch biosynthesis. It is widely applied in plant biology and agricultural sciences to understand and improve starch quality and yield in crops such as rice, maize, and potatoes. By measuring SBE activity, researchers can identify genetic variations and optimize breeding programs for crops with desired starch properties, such as higher amylopectin content. Additionally, the kit is utilized in food science to analyze and modify starch structures for improved texture, stability, and functionality in food products. It also supports biotechnological applications, including the development of modified starches for industrial uses like adhesives, paper, and biofuels.
