  ABSTRACT: In order to learn the enzymatic characteristics of Huai yam powder with medium-temperatureα-amylase, effects of substrate concentration,enzyme concentration, pH and temperature wereinvestigated. The Michealis-Menten equationwas used to fit the kinetics of the hydrolysis reaction. Experimental results indicate that maximum rate (Vm) is 3.1588 mg/mL·min under the condition of 70°C, pH 7.0 and 0.0200 mg/mL of enzyme concentration. The Michealis constant (Km) is 6.6641 mg/mL. The kinetic model, including the factors such as substrate concentration, enzyme concentration and temperature, was established for the hydrolysis reaction under the temperature range from 40°C - 70°C.
