Description

• General description: A major structural element of the yeast cell wall having a β1,3-glucan linear structure with a small number of β1,6-glucan branches. Has been shown to induce an oxidative burst response from NR8383 cells.
• Application: A Comparative Study of Composition and Soluble Polysaccharide Content between Brewer′s Spent Yeast and Cultured Yeast Cells.: This study compares the composition and soluble polysaccharide content of brewer′s spent yeast and cultured yeast cells, highlighting the potential applications of yeast-derived ß-glucan in food industries (Lee et al., 2024). (Lee et al., 2024).Attenuation of inflammatory bowel disease by oral administration of mucoadhesive polydopamine-coated yeast ß-glucan via ROS scavenging and gut microbiota regulation.: This article explores the therapeutic potential of yeast ß-glucan in managing inflammatory bowel disease through oxidative stress reduction and gut microbiota modulation (Yang et al., 2024). (Yang et al., 2024).Beta-Glucan as a Soluble Dietary Fiber Source: Origins, Biosynthesis, Extraction, Purification, Structural Characteristics, Bioavailability, Biofunctional Attributes, Industrial Utilization, and Global Trade.: This comprehensive review covers the various aspects of ß-glucan, emphasizing its dietary benefits and industrial applications (Singla et al., 2024). (Singla et al., 2024).
