The study investigates the distribution of digestive enzymes in the gut of the American cockroach, Periplaneta americana, revealing the presence of α-amylase, β-amylase, proteinase, and lipase across different gut regions, with notable differences between sexes. The midgut exhibited the highest enzyme activity, while the hindgut showed significant levels of proteinase and male lipase, suggesting its importance in digestion. The findings contribute to understanding the digestive processes and feeding habits
