There are numerous forms of the species and grouped into two main types: Duku and Langsat. The objective of this study is to screen the ability of adding extracts of freeze-dried duku and langsat to stimulate the growth and stability of selected <em>Bifidobacteria </em>spp in skimmed milk.<strong></strong></p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Samples were prepared by adding either 5% or 12% of oligosaccharides from duku, langsat, inulin, galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) and fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) to 5% and 12% (w/v) reconstituted nonfat dry milk (NDM), respectively. The specific growth rates (µ) for each sample were calculated. All experiments were replicated ten times.<strong><em></em></strong></p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The mean doubling time (Td) for <em>Bifidobacterium longum</em>, was lowest in the presence of freeze-dried duku and langsat compared to GOS, FOS and inulin. Retention of the viability of five <em>Bifidobacterium </em>species was greatest in the presence of freeze-dried duku and langsat followed by GOS, FOS and inulin. The highest percentage of acetic and lactic acids were produced by <em>B. longum</em>, <em>B. infantis</em> and <em>B. adolescentis</em> with freeze-dried duku and langsat. The pattern of results was similar to the commercial product, oligosaccharides (inulin, GOS and FOS). <strong></strong></p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Therefore, this study provides promising results on promoting growth and probiotic activity of natural oligosaccharides compound from freeze-dried duku and langsat.}, number={11}, journal={International Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences}, author={H., Norhayati A. and Khalili R., Mohd Adzim and M.
