CAS No.: 9012-72-0

EINECS No.: 232-739-1

Sources: Cell walls of yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae)

Specification: Beta Glucan 70%, 80%, 90%

Active Ingredient: Beta 1,3/1,6 Glucan

Solubility: not water soluble

Main function: improve immunity

Description:

Yeast beta glucan is an 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.

Function:

1.Anti-cancer, anti-tumor.

2.Increase discase-resistant ability.

3.Anti-oxidation.

4.Anti-radiation.

5.Effective oral immune stimulant.

6.Decrease the cholesterol.

7.Remove the body of free radicals, anti-aging effects.
