Retention of bioactive compounds during extrusion processing and storage
Retention of bioactive compounds (beta-glucans, lignans and gamma oryzanol) was analyzed after extrusion and during storage period of three months under four relative humidities using saturated salt solutions such as potassium carbonate (43.26 ...

Cell wall glucans of fungi. A review
Glucans are the most abundant polysaccharides in the cell walls of fungi, and their structures are highly variable. Accordingly, their glucose moieties may be joined through either or both alpha (α) or beta (β) linkages, they are either lineal or ...

Aspergillus fumigatus Triggers Inflammatory Responses by Stage-Specific beta-Glucan Display.
Inhalation of fungal spores (conidia) occurs commonly and, in specific circumstances, can result in invasive disease. We investigated the murine inflammatory response to conidia of Aspergillus fumigatus, the most common invasive mold in immunocompromised

β-Glucan-Induced IL-10 Secretion by Monocytes Triggers Porcine NK Cell Cytotoxicity
Beta-glucans are naturally occurring polysaccharides present in cell walls of fungi, yeast, bacteria, cereals, seaweed, and algae. These microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs) possess immunomodulatory properties.

Identifying beta-glucans and peptidoglycans in medicinal products
INTRODUCTION. Beta-glucans and peptidoglycans are cell wall components of bacteria and fungi that are potential sources of pyrogenic contamination of parenteral medicines. Such impurities can cause adverse immune reactions.
