CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
Exopolysaccharides is microbial polysaccharides secreted extracellularly,
whose amou nt and construction will depend on the actual microorganism and substrate
accessible. One such exopolysaccharide is ?-Glucan a water -soluble polysaccharide
consists of glucose models obtained from oats, barley, bacte ria, yeast, algae, and
mushrooms . The glycosidic bonds present in ? -glucan varies relying upon the
supply from which they’re obtained. In micro organism and algae g lucose monomers of ? –
glucan are linked by way of ? -(1?Three) glycosidic bonds which is a linear construction . In yeast
and mushrooms glucose monomers of ? -glucan which reveals branched construction
are linked by way of ? -(1?Three) and ? -(1?6) glycosidic bonds.
In oats and barley, glucose
monomers are hyperlink ed by way of ? – (1?four) and ? -(1?Three) gly cosidic bonds , whose resultant
?-glucan additionally exhibit a branched construction .
?-glucans are of better medical significance. They used for treating a large
vary of illnesses specifically, excessive ldl cholesterol , diabetes , most cancers , HIV, colds (frequent
chilly ), flu (influe nza ), H1N1 (swine) flu, allergic reactions , hepatitis , Lyme illness , bronchial asthma , ear
infections , getting older, ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s illness, fibromyalgia , rheumatoid
arthritis , and a number of sclerosis .
It’s also used to spice up the immune system in folks
whose physique defenses have been weakened by adversarial physiolo gical circumstances such
as continual fatigue syndrome, phys ical and emotional stress or when subjected to
therapies resembling radiation or chemotherapy. Individuals apply ?-glucan s to
the pores and skin for dermatitis , eczema , wrinkles , bedsore s, wounds, burns, diabetic ulcers, and
radiation burns.
In addition to all its medical makes use of , ?-glucans are extensively reported for reducing
levels of cholesterol and appearing as an efficient immunomodulator. Water -solubility and
2
molecular weight of ? -glucan is taken into account to have a gre ater affect in controlling
its hypo cholester olemic impact. Excessive molecular weight and excessive solubility in water
of ? -glucan have a excessive capability of lowering serum ldl cholesterol as in comparison with low
molecular weig ht and low soluble ? -glucan . It has additionally been repo rted that viscosity
of ? -glucan within the intestine is especially liable for its reducing results on chole sterol
(unhealthy) . The v iscosity of ? -glucan is straight associated to its molecular weight, molecular
construction, solubilit y in water, and meals matrix . This can be due t o the upper
intestinal viscosity of ? – glucan, which reduces the reabsorption of bile acids and
results in hig her excretion of bile acids . Synthesis of bile acids from ldl cholesterol is
enhanced by increased excretion of bile acids , which finally improve s the c ho –
lesterol uptake and thus redu ces the LDL serum cholest erol. Focus of ?-
glucan focus consumed within the eating regimen and its molecular weight, controls the
vis cosity of the digesta , therefore the glycemic response is reported to have a big
corre lation with focus and mole cular weight of ? -glucan (Deepak Mudgil ,
2017). ?-1,Three -Glucan molecules are nearly proof against the acidic secretions within the
human abdomen. After ingestion, ? -glucans progressively passes into the primary part of
the small gut (duodenum) and are trapped by macrophage receptors positioned on
the intestinal wall. Activation of macrophage receptor by glucan binding generates
bacter icidal compounds, resembling lysozyme, reactive oxygen radicals, and oxides.
After that the cells begin to yield quite a few cytokines, which activate the sur –
rounding phagocytes and leukocytes tha t result in particular immunity (Gordon D.
Brown, et. al., 2002 ).
Cell wall of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (bakers yeast) is wealthy in ? -glucan,
composed of ?-(1?6) Glycosidic aspect chains interconnect ed with the ? -(1?Three)
glucan chains to create a inflexible community and water -soluble due to its construction.

The target of this undertaking is to mass domesticate yeast cells and isolate ? -glucan from
yeast cell wall by alkaline extraction and acid therapy.

LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1. SOURCES OF ? -GLUCAN:
? -glucans are elements of cell partitions of crops, algae, micro organism , and fungi.
Broadly exploited plant sources for ?-glucan isolation are oats and barl ey. Micro organism –
derived ?-glucans , resembling, xanthan, dextran, pollulan and gellan are used on the
giant scale in meals business, that are com monly named as bacterial
exopolysaccharides. These ? -glucans are secretions of various microorganisms,
resembling Cellulomonas flavigena pressure KU, Bacillus curdlanolyticus , Bacillus
kobensis , Bacillus , and Micromonospora , Agrobacterium sp. ATCC 31749,
Bradyrhizobium , Rhizobium spp., and Sarcina ventriculi. Yeast (Saccharomyces
cerevisiae ) has been a beneficial supply as 55 -60% of its cell wall constituent is ?
glucan. Species, which were used for a few years in conventional drugs of the
Far West, are, Ganoderma lucidum , Lentinula edodes , Grifola frondosa , Hericium
erinaceus , Trametes versicolor , Schizophyllum commune , Phellinus linteus ,
Inonotus obliquus , and Pleuortus ostreatus .( Krzysztof Sobieralski, 2012).
2.2 . COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS:
?-glucan are exploited from varied sources and with its various properties
they discover functions in numerous industrie s specifically pharm, meals, beverage and textile
business.
Lately they’re studied to investigate the impact on bodily, chemical,
textural, microbial and thermal properties of the meals product imparted with ? –
glucan. The applying of ?-glucans in hen meat ( ?-Glucan and SALT+ ?-
Glucan therapies) offered improved cooking loss in contrast with management samples
5
however didn’t current extra benefits with respect to the SALT therapy. Underneath
the circumstances evaluated, incorporation of ?-glucans into the entire muscle hen
didn’t current detrimental results to product high quality or security. Nevertheless, after
cooking, the fiber focus within the remaining product was lowered to ranges the place it
wouldn’t be ample for well being advantages or for the product to be declared as a
supply of dieta ry fiber . (Sandra M. Vasquez Mej?a, et. al., 2019).
In yogurt fortification with ?-glucan, it has imposed an incremental impact on
the textural properties that had been extra detectable at Zero.eight% focus, with an
adversarial impact on the over all liking of th e yogurt. ( Vassilios Raikos, et. al., 2018)
2.Three . MEDICAL USES OF ? -GLUCAN:
In addition to all of the industrial software of ? -glucan, it’s extremely famous for its
medi cal significance too , notably as an immunomodulator and reducing ldl cholesterol
ranges . Heart problems on account of LDL ldl cholesterol is understood to spoil a lot of the
life. Use of ? -glucan is claimed to considerably decrease the LDL ranges, thereby reducing
the heart problems for better extent. A day by day dose of three g reduces LDL
ldl cholesterol by 5 6% with out considerably affecting the plasma concentrations of
different lipids. Glucomannan, P lantago/psyllium, and chitosan are additionally efficient. Different
doubtlessly healthful results of beta -glucan embody modulation of glycemia
(most likely at a better day by day do sage) and prebiotic actions. ( Andrea Poli , Francesco
Visioli , 2019)
?-glucan from Lactobacillus fermentum Lf2 imparts immunotolerance in
peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). A capability to modulate the discharge of
the proinflammatory mediators, resembling TNF -?, is a crucial aim within the
growth of therapies for the therapy of illnesses, resembling Crohns illness and
6
ulcerative colitis, related to extreme launch of inflammatory mediators (Ana
Vitlic et. al ., 2019) .
Research reveal that, by selling cell viability, phagocytic exercise,
antioxidant immune response , and immune -related gene expression , ?-glucans are
in a position to modulate the immune system . Certainly, activated stronger immune responses
of Dectin -1 and Toll -like receptor four (TLR4) might be activated by ?-glucans derived
from D. hansenii . (No? Medina -C?rdova, et. al., 2019)
Cereal ? -glucan is claimed to impart a big discount in physique weight and
physique mass index (BMI) following ?-glucan consumption (weighted imply distinction
[WMD]: -Zero.77 kg, 95% CI: -1.49, -Zero.04) and (WMD: -Zero.62 kg/cm2, 95% CI: -1.04,
-Zero.21), respectively. And a subgroup Assessment confirmed that a beta -glucan dose of ?
4g/day tends to increas e the quantity of power consumption ( Ra hmani J et. al., 2019).
