Beta-Glucans Improve Growth, Viability and Colonization of Probiotic Microorganisms
Probiotics, prebiotics and synbiotics are frequently-used components for the elaboration of functional food. Currently, most of the commercialized probiotics are limited to a few strains of the genera Bifidobacteria, Lactobacillus and Streptococcus, most of which produce exopolysaccharides (EPS). This suggests that the beneficial properties of these microorganisms may be related to the biologic...
متن کاملbeta-Glucans in promoting health: prevention against mutation and cancer.
The polysaccharides beta-glucans occur as a principal component of the cellular walls. Some microorganisms, such as yeast and mushrooms, and also cereals such as oats and barley, are of economic interest because they contain large amounts of beta-glucans. These substances stimulate the immune system, modulating humoral and cellular immunity, and thereby have beneficial effect in fighting infect...
متن کاملAnthrax-protective effects of yeast beta 1,3 glucans.
CONTEXT The recent events increasing the threat of bioterrorism have prompted a widespread search for defenses against this peril. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the anthrax-protective effect of beta1,3-glucan immune modulators (PGG-glucan and WGP beta glucan) in an experimental animal model. DESIGN Beta1,3-glucan immune modulators were administered by subcutaneous injection to Balb/c mice 2 days pr...
متن کاملSeveral thaumatin-like proteins bind to beta-1,3-glucans.
Pathogenesis-related proteins from intercellular fluid washings of stressed barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) leaves were analyzed to determine their binding to various water-insoluble polysaccharides. Three proteins (19, 16, and 15 kD) bound specifically to several water-insoluble beta-1,3-glucans. Binding of the barley proteins to pachyman occurred quickly at 22 degreesC at pH 5.0, even in the pres...
متن کاملOptimization of the Extraction Process of Beta-glucans from Barley
β-glucans are non-starchy polysaccharides composed of (1-3), (1-4) mixed linked glucose polymers. They are located mainly in the cell walls of the endosperm and the aleurone layer of different cereal grains, specially oat and barleys. In general, β-glucans are a major component of the soluble dietary fibre and they influence the nutritional values and functional properties of food. Recently, se...
