Galactooligosaccharides as a factor of bifidobacteria growth

Urgency of galactooligosaccharides application as a factor stimulating growth and development of probiotic microflora in fermented milk products manufacturing is substantiated. Results of the study of effects of oligosaccharides taken in various doses on lactic acid microorganisms and bifidobacteria viability are presented. Optimal dose of galactooligosaccharides that stimulates bifidoflora growth in milk media was established.
