What is yeast extract beta glucan powder made of
Yangge Biotech supplies high-quality Yeast Extract Beta Glucan Powder manufactured from carefully selected baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) using advanced extraction and purification technology. The product is rich in β-(1,3)/(1,6)-D-glucans, naturally occurring polysaccharides found in the yeast cell wall. It is widely used in dietary supplements, functional foods, beverages, sports nutrition, and animal nutrition due to its excellent purity, stability, and functional properties.
What Is Yeast Extract Beta Glucan Powder Made Of?
Yeast Extract Beta Glucan Powder is produced from the cell walls of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, commonly known as baker's yeast. Through enzymatic and physical extraction processes, valuable beta glucans are isolated while removing proteins, fats, and other unwanted components.
The primary active ingredient is β-(1,3)/(1,6)-D-glucan, a natural polysaccharide recognized for its functional properties and widely used in food, nutraceutical, and health supplement industries.
Manufacturing Process
Selection of high-quality baker's yeast.
