Beta-Glucans Market: Global Industry Analysis and Opportunity Assessment 2015-2025 by FMI
Glucans are glucose polymers, classified according to their inter-chain linkage as being either ?- or ?-linked. Beta-Glucans are a heterogeneous group of nonstarch polysaccharides, consisting of D-glucose monomers linked by glycosidic bonds. Beta-Glucans occurs naturally in the bran of barley, oats, and wheat, and can also be extracted from the cell walls of baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). Among polysaccharides that act as immunostimulants, Beta-Glucans were found to be the most effective against infectious diseases and cancer.
