LP36005-4   1,3 beta glucan
Beta glucans are cell wall constituents (polysacharrides) of medically important fungi including Candida and Aspergillus, and are used to assist in making the diagnosis of disseminated fungal infection. They are also present in the bran of cereal grains and baker's yeast. Source: Regenstrief Institute

LP36005-4   1,3 beta glucan
β-Glucans (or beta-glucans) are polysaccharides occurring in the bran of cereal grains, the cell wall of baker's yeast, certain types of fungi, and many kinds of mushrooms. The cereal based beta-glucans occur most abundantly in barley and oats and to a much lesser degree in rye and wheat. They are useful in human nutrition as texturing agents and as soluble fiber supplements, but problematic in the process of brewing.
An insoluble (1,3/1,6) beta glucan derived from baker's yeast has a different molecular structure than that of its soluble (1,3/1,4) counterparts and has a greater biological activity due to its structural "branching". Yeast derived beta glucans are notable for their immunomodulatory function. The differences between soluble and insoluble beta glucans are significant in regards to application, mode of action, and overall biological activity.
