Yeast beta glucan is a polysaccharide compound with immunity-enhancing activity that exists in the yeast cell wall. It is mainly composed of glucose molecules through β-1,3-glucan chains and β-1,6-glucan chains. Connected. It is usually synthesized by yeasts, with species of the genus Saccharomyces being the major producers. The main source of yeast beta glucan currently on the market is Saccharomyces cerevisiae (brewer's yeast and baker's yeast).
Yeast beta glucan is an important component of the yeast cell wall, providing structural support to the cell and helping to maintain cell integrity and stability. In addition, the application of yeast beta glucan in the food and health care fields has received widespread attention. Yeast beta glucan is believed to have a regulatory effect on the immune system and can enhance the body's resistance. In addition, it is used to promote intestinal health and help maintain a good balance of intestinal flora.
Nanjing Taixin Biotechnology Co., Ltd. specializes in the research and development and production of yeast beta glucan and mannooligosaccharides (mannooligosaccharides). The factory is located in Shangqiu, Henan, with professional product production lines and covers an area of 2,000 square meters. Obtained ISO, HALAL and other certificates.
At the same time, the factory laboratory is equipped with professional and advanced precision instruments and equipment, and has established a complete quality supervision system. Samples are kept for testing from raw materials to finished products, ensuring quality, safety and quality, and meeting the requirements of customers from different countries.
The amount of glucan in nutritional yeast can vary depending on the brand and manufacturing process. Generally speaking, nutritional yeast is a food made from yeast and contains rich nutrients such as protein, vitamins and minerals. Glucan is also found in nutritional yeast as part of the yeast cell wall. The cell wall constitutes 25% of the cell weight (depending on growth conditions). The yeast cell wall is composed of three main polysaccharides, including mannoproteins (about 40%), glucans (about 50%), and chitin (about 2%).
To find out the specific glucan content, it’s recommended to check the product’s nutrition label or check with the manufacturer. Different brands and products may use different yeast species, extraction processes, and additives, so the glucan content may vary.
The yeast beta glucan produced by Nanjing Taixin Biotechnology Co., Ltd. is divided into products of different specifications according to the content and water-soluble status of yeast glucan, as follows:
product name | Specification | beta glucan content |
Yeast beta Glucan | Insoluble in water | 70% |
80% | ||
90% | ||
Dissolved in water | 70% | |
80% | ||

In general, glucan does not directly cause yeast infections. Glucan is one of the main components of yeast cell walls and is often found as an additive in food and health products. Under normal circumstances, consuming products containing moderate amounts of glucan is unlikely to cause a yeast infection.
However, it is important to note that for some individuals, especially those with pre-existing immune system issues or who are susceptible to yeast infections, excessive intake of glucan or under certain conditions may cause discomfort or worsen infections. In addition, yeast infections may be related to yeast glucan in some special environmental or medical situations. Therefore, in special cases, it is best to use or avoid glucan-containing products under the advice of a doctor.
Overall, a normal diet and judicious use of foods containing glucan is generally safe, but individual differences and health conditions still need to be considered.
