ABSTRACT:
Three dimensional glucan matrix compositions are prepared by separating growing Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast from its growth medium, subjecting the yeast with cell walls intact to aqueous hydroxide and treating the insoluble glucan with acetic acid to alter the .beta.(1-6) linkages. The glucans have viscosity characteristics dependent upon the strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae utilized and are useful as stabilizer or thickeners.
