Banh men samples obtained from the Vietnam were analyzed for pH, moisture content and fungal composition. The pH of banh men was acidic with mean pH of 5.76. Moisture content was 13.6%. Total mold and yeast counts yielded 1.3 x 10**6 and 4.3 x 10 **6 CFU/g fresh sample, respectively. A total of 53 fungal isolates were obtained with 20 molds and 33 yeasts. The mold isolates were identified as Rhizopus oryzae, Mucor indicus, Mucor circinilloides, and Amylomyces rouxii. The yeast isolates were identified as Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Hyphopichia burtonii, Saccharomycopsis fibuligera, Pichia aromata, and Candida sp. All fungal isolates obtained were screened for their starch degrading activities. Results showed that six S. fibuligera and all mold isolates showed alpha-amylase and glucoamylase activities
