Used in agricultural and entomological research to measure amylase enzyme activity in insect samples, helping assess digestive physiology and responses to dietary or environmental changes. Widely applied in studies of pest species to evaluate the impact of enzyme inhibitors or biopesticides on digestion. Supports development of targeted pest control strategies by providing quantitative data on amylase levels across insect life stages or populations. Also utilized in physiological ecology to compare metabolic efficiency among species or under stress conditions.
