Beta-Glucan based temperature responsive hydrogels for 5-ASA delivery.
Carbohydrate Polymers, 2018A series of temperature responsive hydrogels consisting of (1,3)-(1,6) β-Glucan and poly (N-isopropyl acrylamide) (PNIPAM) was synthesized by redox polymerization at room temperature. Tetramethylethylenediamine (TEMED) and potassium persulfate (KPS) were

Beta-glucans in edible mushrooms
Food Chemistry, 2000Edible mushrooms contain interesting functional components. In particular beta glucans, homo- and hetero-glucans with β(1→3), β(1→4) and β(1→6) glucosidic linkages, are supposed to be responsible for some healthy properties of mushrooms. In this research the amount of beta glucans in different edible mushroom species has been evaluated and their ...

Steak With a Side of Beta-Glucans
Science, 2009At the 9th International Plant Molecular Biology Congress, researchers described progress in manipulating the beta-glucan content of grains and other plant tissues, which could boost the fiber content of foods and enhance the value of the currently unusable parts of corn and wheat for biofuels.

beta-Glucans are naturally occurring carbohydrates that possess immune-modulating activities, but their mechanisms of action are largely unknown. Recent discoveries, however, including identification of beta-glucan receptors, such as dectin-1, have started to shed some light on the mechanisms underlying the properties of these carbohydrates.

Oat is a nutritionally valuable raw material, being rich in complex carbohydrates, good quality protein and dietary fibre, especially the soluble fibre beta-glucan. Oat is also a good source of trace minerals, folate and vitamin E. The use of oat for human food, however, is rather limited, and oat has been pointed to have hidden potential for use as ...

Anticarcinogenic effect of beta-glucans
2013Use of medicinal herbs and herbal dietary supplements with alleged-anticarcinogenic effects is very common among cancer patients. Such effects are generally achieved through two important mechanisms: cytotoxic and immunomodulatory and one of the active compounds with proven immune effects is a large group of structurally heterogeneous polysaccharides ...

Biosynthesis of beta-glucans in fungi.
Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, 1992Glucans are the most abundant polysaccharides present in fungi. The present review provides updated information on the structure and synthesis of beta-glucans in fungal cells. Synthesis of these polymers made up of B1,3 chains with a variable degree of B1,6 branching involves several reactions: initiation, chain elongation and branching, of which the ...
