Ingredient Overview
Yeast cell walls contain beta-glucans with a different structure from those in oats and barley. Saccharomyces cerevisiae provides a fermentation-derived source for this concentrated ingredient.
The fermentation organism supplies a cell-wall fraction with a characteristic fungal beta-glucan structure. This gives yeast beta-glucan a different source and composition from cereal-derived fibres. The concentrated powder can feature in ingredient blends where yeast-derived polysaccharides are the focus of the product concept.
