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).

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  

  1. can you please share the details of how much protein and carbohydrate in the BG (S.cerevisiae) and which is method adopted to produce the BG.

    1 answer

    1. The minimum purity of this material is 95%. The presence of proteins and other carbohydrates has not been investigated. The method of production is considered proprietary.

    Specification and purity of beta glucan

    There are three types of beta glucan products. It is not clear how each of them is distinguished. The actual beta glucan content is not specified in these products . There is mention as 95 percent glucose . This does not tell about the actual polysaccharide content .Hence the specifications may be written with better clarity on these important data
