They occur most commonly derived from as cellulose in plants, the bran of cereal grains, the cell wall of baker’s baker's yeast, cellulose of plantscertain fungi, some mushrooms ([[shiitake]], [[maitake]] and [[Pleurotus Pulmonarius]]) and fungi, bacteria. Some forms of beta glucans are useful in human nutrition as texturing agents and from as soluble fiber supplements, but can be problematic in the bran process of cereal grainsbrewing.<br>See also :
