Soluble dietary fibers also reduce the total plasma cholesterol and lower the glycemic index of food providing numerous health benefits. Insoluble beta-glucan is found in larger amounts in cereal, such as brown rice. Wholemeal flour and bread, wholegrain breakfast cereals, brown rice, corn bran, and wholemeal pasta are all good sources. This type of fibrous beta-glucan is vital for a healthy digestive system further leading to the segment holding a significant share in the overall market for beta-glucan.

The yeast segment as a source is expected to hold one of the largest share in the beta-glucan market, in terms of value, in 2020

Baker’s yeast grows aerobically and is dependent on sugar molasses, whereas brewer’s yeast is not. Baker’s yeast is estimated on the basis of consumption of baker’s product while brewer’s yeast depends on alcohol products. The immune-modulating abilities of the final product together with supportive research studies for the immune-modulating properties of baker’s yeast has driven the demand for yeast beta-glucan globally.

By application pharmaceutical and food & beverage will be the key areas to drive the demand for beta-glucan, in terms of value, in 2020

Pharmaceutical products come in the form of capsules, liquid, powder, or tablets and are taken to balance the deficiencies of ingredients in diets and for curing problems, such as obesity, blood pressure, and diabetes.
