Beta-glucan is a polymer composed of 1,3-Beta- and 1,6-Beta-linkages between glucose units. The insoluble polymer is restricted to few food sources such as fungi and some Yeasts

It is not as common in dietary patterns as the other fibers. The high-specificity insoluble 1,3-beta-glucan promoted a large increase of the target bacteria (from 0.3 to 16.5% average for Anaerostipes sp. and 2.5 to 17.9% average for Bacteroides uniformis ), which were associated with increase…
