Barley β-glucans: a new method for extraction and purification [PDF]
, 2022 Barley β-glucans are non-starchy polysaccharides that are composed of linear chains of β-D-(1→3) and β-D-(1→4) linked glucose residues. They comprise three (cellotriosyl) or four (cellotetraosyl) consecutive β-D-(1→4) bonded glucose units mutually ...
