MEDIOCON INC supplies Black Yeast Beta-Glucan (Polycan) as a specialty nutritional raw material for nutraceutical, dietary supplement, functional food and beverage applications.
Black yeast beta-glucan (Polycan®) is a soluble polysaccharide produced through fermentation using Aureobasidium pullulans. Available technical and scientific sources describe it primarily as a β-1,3/1,6-glucan with a branched polysaccharide structure.
Polycan is therefore a complex polysaccharide ingredient rather than a single small-molecule chemical compound. Its exact purity, molecular-weight distribution, β-glucan content and other specification parameters should be confirmed from the applicable product specification and batch COA.
Black yeast beta-glucan is produced by Aureobasidium pullulans through controlled fermentation.
The characteristic structure consists of a β-1,3-linked glucan backbone with β-1,6-linked branches, distinguishing it from cereal beta-glucans such as oat and barley beta-glucan.
Black yeast beta-glucan is described as a water-soluble polysaccharide, making it suitable for a range of nutritional and functional-food formulations.
Published specifications for Polycan vary by preparation; one study reports an average molecular weight of approximately 2.6 × 10⁵ Da for the preparation studied. This should not be used as a universal specification for every Polycan grade.
