Yeast Glucan Powder

Yeast glucan is a polysaccharide that exists in yeast cell walls and has multiple biological activities. ‌‌
Yeast glucan, also known as yeast β-glucan, is a polysaccharide that belongs to dextran. It exists in the mucus secreted by certain microorganisms during their growth, especially in yeast cell walls. The molecular structure of yeast glucan is mainly composed of D-glucose units connected by α,1→6 bonds, and the branching points are connected by 1→2, 1→3, and 1→4, and the β-glucan bound by β-1,3/-1,6 has the highest biological activity. This polysaccharide is not only found in yeast, but also widely found in other fungi and plants, such as shiitake mushrooms, ganoderma lucidum, oats, etc.

1. Improve immunity: Yeast glucan helps to enhance the phagocytic activity of immune cells, thereby enhancing the body's immune function.

2. Lowering blood lipids: The special structure of yeast glucan can promote the release of lipoproteins and fatty acids, so that large lipid molecules in the blood can be decomposed into small molecules, thereby playing a role in lowering blood lipids.

3. Anti-infection: Yeast glucan can also gradually increase the number of white blood cells in the body, so that the body can better resist the invasion of various pathogens and play an anti-infection role. When used in combination with antibiotics, it can also improve the effectiveness of antibiotics.

4. Balance intestinal flora: Yeast glucan can adjust the flora of the digestive tract and maintain intestinal health. It can promote the growth of beneficial bacteria and inhibit the reproduction of harmful bacteria, thereby maintaining the balance of intestinal flora.

5. Anti-aging and skin repair: It can increase cell activity, promote the renewal and repair of skin cells, and slow down the aging of the skin. At the same time, when the skin is damaged, yeast glucan can also help the skin tissue to be repaired as soon as possible and enhance the skin's resistance. Therefore, yeast glucan also has the effect of anti-aging and skin repair.

In the food industry, yeast glucan is used as a raw material to add to various foods, such as dairy foods, meat foods, baked foods, pasta foods, various beverages, candies, seasoning foods, etc., to enhance the nutritional value of foods and improve their texture.

In the field of daily chemical products, yeast glucan is used as a raw material for cosmetics such as facial cleansers, beauty creams, lotions, shampoos, toothpastes, shower gels, facial masks, and experimental reagents for various experimental research and development.
