Food

Baking

As Fat Substitute
Baked food is an important part of the food industry, but baked food often needs more oil to improve the color, aroma and taste of baked food.

Yeast beta-glucan can be used as a fat substitute in baked goods to reduce the fat in cakes, breads and other foods. The addition of yeast β-glucan increased the elasticity, adhesiveness and recovery of the heavy oil cake, and improved the chewiness of the heavy oil cake.

The sensory index of the cake with 20% fat substitute was close to the traditional heavy oil cake.

Dairy Products

Prebiotic Effect

Yeast beta-glucan is an effective prebiotic that can effectively promote the growth and vitality of beneficial bacteria.

Studies have shown that yeast beta-glucan selectively promotes the growth of intestinal probiotics, and in vitro experiments show that yeast glucan can significantly promote the growth of Bifidobacterium or Lactobacillus acidophilus.

The addition of yeast beta glucan not only makes dairy products taste better, but also effectively balances intestinal health.

Meat Products

As Fat Substitute

For meat products, juiciness, tenderness and smoothness are the organoleptic properties that people crave. Due to its special structural properties, yeast beta glucan has an increased use in meat products. Strengthen the water-holding capacity of meat products, improve crispness, hardness and other functions.

The study found that:

(1) It is feasible for yeast glucan to replace fat in meat products. It can not only provide smooth and rich taste of low-fat meat products, but also improve the texture of low-fat meat products.

(2) Yeast glucan can also replace starch in food. It overcomes the shortcoming that the surface of meat products loses water and forms a hard film due to poor water-holding capacity of starch.

(3) After adding an appropriate amount of yeast glucan to meat products, its texture, taste and overall acceptability have been greatly improved.

Beverage

As Emulsion Stabilizer

Yeast beta-glucan is a good emulsion stabilizer, which can be added to beverages not only as a functional ingredient, but also as an emulsion stabilizer.

Studies have shown that yeast glucan as a stabilizer has better foaming ability and stabilization effect in oil-in-water emulsion systems than other commonly used food additives. The foaming ability of 4% yeast glucan reached 32.57%, second only to the foaming ability of HPMC emulsion (50.50%).

After 1 hour, the foaming stability of yeast glucan samples at concentrations of 2% and 4% exceeded 60%, and the emulsion stability reached 80% after 14 days, indicating that yeast glucan acts as a stabilizer to increase viscosity. It can be used in various foods to improve its texture and taste.

Flour Products

Improve dough rheological properties

In recent years, there are many flour products such as yeast glucan bread, noodles, and wheat flour.

The addition of yeast glucan to flour products can increase the water-soluble dietary fiber content of products on the one hand; on the other hand, it can effectively improve dough rheological properties, hydration properties and product quality.

Studies have shown that adding yeast glucan in an appropriate amount can improve the rheological properties of dough. Adding 0.5%~5.0% yeast glucan to flour increases the dough water absorption rate, forming time and stability time of flour; The addition of 0.5%~1.0% yeast glucan can make the tensile properties of low-gluten flour close to that of steamed bread flour.

Yeast beta-glucan also affects product quality by affecting dough hydration characteristics. Studies have shown that the addition of yeast glucan to noodles and steamed bread can inhibit moisture migration and starch aging, reduce water loss rate and cooking loss.
