Beta-glucan composition and structure: an evolution of views
Original language description
Proper history of beta-glucan as an immunomodulator goes back to the 40s of the last century when Pillemer and Ecker isolated an insoluble fraction from fresh yeast, zymosan, with beta-glucan as an active component. Lately, beta-glucan was also proved anactive component of Asian medicinal fungi. From these times, the structure of beta-glucan has been explored and its relationship to biological effects investigated. Due to a polymeric character and molecular size as well as the tertiary structure inhomogeneities, frequent discrepancies were reported and accurate description of these phenomena is insufficient in certain details till now.
