Conventional beta-glucan
|
|
|
Production method
|
Extraction from yeast, mushroom
and grains
|
Production via microorganism fermentation
|
|
Production process
|
To obtain glucan, chemical and biological degradation
required because the cell wall is very hard and non digestive.
|
Secretion of beta-glucan produced by microorganism
_ easy in purification
|
|
|
Mass production impossible
_production cost increase
_ High cost
|
Mass production possible
_ Low cost
|
|
Characteristics
|
Difficult in obtaining
homogeneous product
|
Homogeneous product _ Constant effect
