Description of Yeast Beta Glucan 

Yeast beta glucan is a immune polysaccharide exists in the yeast cell wall.It is produced by modern bio-engineering technology via autolysis,enzymolysis,cell wall broken,refining,spray drying.The Beta-1,3(D)-glucan with Beta-1,6-glucan linkage extracted from yeast cell wall has been shown to act as a potent non-specific immune-activator.

Features of Yeast beta glucan

1. Specific activation of human immune cells and rapidly increase the immune system.

2. Anti-radiation, anti-tumor, and intestinal functions improvement;

3. From natural yeast, safe and health

4. GRAS by FDA in USA.

5.EFSA of European Union has approved the ratification of yeast beta glucan as a novel food ingredient in 2011.

6.China Ministry of Health approved the ratification of yeast beta glucan as a novel resource food

in 2010,Can be directly used in biscuits, bread, dairy products, confectionery, beverages and a variety of food.

Molecular structure of Yeast beta glucan

Yeast beta glucan is a branched β-(1,3)-glucan of high molecular weight (500-1000KD) containing 3% of β-(1,6)-glucosidic interchain linkages.
