The stabilizatio of amaylolytic enzyme such as $\beta$-amylase of barley, $\beta$-amylase of wheat, $\beta$-amylase of sweet potato, $\alpha$-amylase of Bacillus licheniformis, $\alpha$-amylase of Aspergillus sp. and $\alpha$-glucosidase of Aspergillus awamori was attained by modification with periodate-oxidized soluble starch. The pH stability of modified enzyme was increased at pH 9 for $\beta$-amylase of sweet potato, pH 3~5 and 8~11 for $\beta$-amylase of barley, pH 2~3 and 7~12 for $\beta$-amylase of wheat and pH 6 for $\alpha$-glucosidase of Aspergillus awamori. Thermal stability increased 17.6% for $\alpha$-amylase of Aspergillus sp. at 6$0^{\circ}C$ for 10min, 30% for $\alpha$-amylase of Bacillus licheniformis at 10$0^{\circ}C$ for 5min and 4.5% for $\alpha$-amylase of sweet potato at 6$0^{\circ}C$ for 10min compared with those of native enzymes.

The stabilization of barley $\beta$-amylase(Biozyme ML, Amano) was attained by modification with periodate-oxidized soluble starch. The specific activities of modified enzyme at pH 9.7 and pH 8.0 were 42% and 92%, respectively, compared with that of native enzyme. The pH stability of modified enzyme was increased at pH 2~5 and 7~12 in the presence of $\alpha$-cyclodextrin( $\alpha$ -CD) compared wish that of native enzyme. Thermal stability of the modified enzyme was increased. After treatment at 6$0^{\circ}C$ for 10min. the activity remained 8% for the enzyme modified at pH 8.0 in the presence of $\alpha$-CD, 4.5% for the native enzyme. The native enzyme and modified enzyme showed two peak in HPLC. The molecular weight of the modified enzyme was slightly increased in HPLC analysis.
