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.

FAQ of Yeast Beta Glucan

1.What is Yeast Beta Glucan?

Yeast beta glucan is one kind of functional polysaccharide source from cell wall of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and β-1,3-D-glucan as the main chain, β-1,6-D-glucan as the branch, about more than 10000 molecules linked, molecular weight is about 2.4 million Da.Yeast beta glucan form a tight network in the yeast cell wall,which play an important role in maintaining the structural integrity of yeast cells and maintaining cell shape.

Yeast beta glucan is a light yellow powder, can absorb water to expand its own volume of 6-10 times, in food with function of thickening, moisturizing and so on.

2. What are the physiological functions of the yeast beta glucan?

Yeast beta glucan is a good regulator of biological effects (BRMs), a large number of animal experiments and clinical trials have shown that yeast glucan has enhanced immunity, anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, anti-radiation, lower blood lipids and promote wound healing Physiological function.

3.How does Yeast beta glucan work?

After oral yeast beta glucan,it can enter blood circulation system by the intestinal lymphatic system, Human macrophages (a non-specific immune cells, can quickly remove human foreign antigens),which surface has a specific yeast beta glucan receptor.Yeast beta glucan can quickly activate macrophage activity once be recognized,then quickly enhance immunity, anti-tumor, anti-radiation, anti-inflammatory and other functions.

4.Where can yeast beta glucan be used?

Yeast beta glucan can be used as food ingredients in dairy products, meat products, baked goods, beverages, candy and other common foods,also can be used in health supplement as health raw material. In ordinary food,yeast beta glucan have good water holding capacity,so that it has thickening, moisturizing, improve the taste and other functions. Yeast beta glucan can also be used in cosmetic products as masking, shower gel, hand cream and other cosmetic ingredients, with whitening, rapid repair of skin cells, moisturizing And other functions.

5.Which kinds of health products can yeast beta glucan be made for?

Yeast glucan can be developed into capsule, tablets,oral liquid ,health beverage and other health food.

6. How much is appropriate daily dose of yeast beta glucan?

One person take 200mg yeast beta glucan per day can play a rapid increase in immunity, anti-radiation, lower blood lipids and so on.

7.Brief introduction the difference of yeast beta glcucan compare with other beta glucans.

Normal yeast beta glucan powder is none water soluble,the purity of beta glucan can achieve 90%,and the active ingredient is β-1,3/1,6-D-glucan,the branch link is β-1,6-D-glucan,main link is β-1,3-D-glucan,the branch link is longer than normal mushroom beta glucan,the main function of yeast beta glucan is immunity improvement.

8. Brief introduction of the basic production process of yeast beta glucan

First,obtain Saccharomyces cerevisiae which content high purity yeast beta glucan by fermentation using a special fermentation process,then refine Saccharomyces cerevisiae by removing yeast protein, fat, nucleic acid and other impurities with biotechnology means,then spray drying,main specification is 20%,70%,80%,85%,90%.

9.Which kind of people is suitable for taking yeast beta glucan?

Low immunity in the elderly, patients with dyslipidemia, often cold sufferers, cancer patients, cancer chemotherapy patients are suitable for taking yeast beta glucan.
