Methods on β-Glucan Isolated from Spent Brewer’s Yeast Using Alkaline Procedure
نویسندگان
چکیده
Water-insoluble (particulate) β-glucan was isolated from the cell walls of spent brewer’s yeast using a single-step alkaline treatment. To stabilize β-glucan water suspensions, sonication was successfully applied. Th ree diff erent drying methods were used: air-drying, lyophilization and spray-drying. Air-drying and lyophilization caused β-glucan particles agglomeration and changes of their microstructure. Sonication combined with spray-drying resulted in minimal β-glucan structural changes and negligible formation of agglomerates. Reaggregation of spray-dried β-glucan particles was minimal even aft er resuspending in water.

β-Glucan Fiber from Spent Brewer’s Yeast Reduces Early Atherosclerosis Greater Than Psyllium in Hypercholesterolemic Syrian Golden Hamsters
β-Glucans, mostly from oats, have been shown to reduce blood concentrations of total and LDL-cholesterol in animals and humans. After processing, spent brewer’s yeast, a by-product of the fermentation process, contains 85% 90% βglucans. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of yeast-derived β-glucan fiber on plasma lipids and early atherosclerosis development in hamsters consumin...

β-D-glucan is a D-glucose biopolymer. The cell wall of yeast contains β-Dglucans. βGlucan has been isolated from barley, oat, mushrooms, algae bacteria and yeasts. Spent brewer’s yeast has been widely used for β-glucan production but yeast waste biomass from wine industry has not been yet utilized. Yeast β-glucan can be incorporated in various functional food, beverage and pharmaceutical produc...
