Insight on Extraction and Preservation of Biological Activity of Cereal ß-D-Glucans

Anna Lante and Elisa Canazza    

Resumen

ß-glucan is a soluble nonstarchy polysaccharide widely found in yeasts, fungi, bacteria, algae, barley, and oats. The cereal ß-D-glucans are considered a functional food ingredient due to their numerous health benefits. Its high molecular weight and high viscosity are responsible for its cholesterol-lowering and hypoglycemic properties, which are based on scientific evidence collected in recent decades, both by the FDA and EFSA, which has allowed the reporting of health claims concerning the lowering of cholesterol and the control of the glycemic response exhibited by ß-D-glucans from barley and oats. Considering that the biofunctional properties of ß-D-glucans are closely linked to their structural and conformational properties, it is of primary importance to implement extraction and processing methods that guarantee these molecules? preservation and the maximum functionality of these molecules.
