Yeast Polysaccharide

Other names: yeast polysaccharides, zymosan, yeast polysaccharides

Harm score: 2 (Derivatives of natural substances)


Yeast polysaccharides, also known as zymosan or yeast polysaccharides, are a type of polysaccharide formed by yeast. These are complex sugars that yeasts produce during their growth and reproduction. These polysaccharides play an important role in many biological processes, including immune response and inflammation. In addition, they are also essential building blocks of yeast cell walls.

Yeast polysaccharides play an important role in the production process of some foods and beverages. For example, they are crucial for the production of beer, where yeast transforms sugar into alcohol and creates the characteristic taste and aroma of beer. Another use of yeast polysaccharides is in baking, where yeast helps the dough to rise and gives bread its traditional texture. Yeast polysaccharides are also used in cosmetics to make face masks and other skin care products. They have great moisturizing properties and help the skin regain its natural moisture. In addition, they are also used in the pharmaceutical industry for the production of certain medicines.
