Abstract: Heat-resisting α-amylase is a critical enzyme for producing maltose. Enzyme properties of two species of heat- resistingα-amylases were studied. The results were as follows: the heat-resisting ability for two species of enzymes was different, and there was an evident difference in enzyme activity. The optimum pH was 7.0, and the acid-resisting ability was poor. The activity of two kinds of enzymes could be enhanced when the concentration of Ca2+ was 7~9mmol/L in the enzyme solution.

Key words: heat-resisting &alpha, -amylase; property;
