[Kinetics of the glycosidases activity in Schistocerca gregaria Forsk].
Extracts from the alimentary canal of Schistocerca gregaria Forsk allow hydrolysis of a remarkably wide range of oligosaccharides, heterosides and polysaccharides. Sucrose and starch are more rapidly and more intensely attacked, other osides much more slowly. The balance of released monosaccharides shows a clean predominance of glucose but some oses are released in appreciable amount only in case of delayed digestion.
