Abstract
Production of ?-glucan is mainly used for cancer therapy. The most well-known are those occur in fungal grains such as cereal and other micro-organisms. The most important beta glucan from a nutritional and ingredient standpoint is that derived from fungal grain. Optimization of medium ingredients for the production of mycelial ?-glucan from lower fungi in submerged fermentation and antioxidant activity of ?-glucan was carried out.
