The invention relates to a variant of a parent Termamyl-like -amylase,
comprising mutations in two, three, four, five or six regions/positions. The variants
have increased stability at high temperatures (relative to the parent). The invention
also relates to a DNA construct comprising a DNA sequence encoding an -amylase
variant of the invention, a recombinant expression vector which carries a DNA construct
of the invention, a cell which is transformed with a DNA construct of the invention,
the use of an -amylase variant of the invention for washing and/or dishwashing,
textile desizing, starch liquefaction, a detergent additive comprising an -amylase
variant of the invention, a manual or automatic dishwashing detergent composition
comprising an -amylase variant of the invention, a method for generating
a variant of a parent Termamyl-like -amylase, which variant exhibits increased.
