MANNAN Usage And Synthesis

Uses

Mannan from Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been used in a study to assess nonopsonic uptake of Mycobacterium avium complex by human monocytes and alveolar macrophages. It has also been used in a study to investigate new lectins from bulbs of Croccus sativum.

General Description

Mannan from Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a simple polysaccharide.

Biological Activity

Mannan exhibits several biological properties, including antiproliferative, antioxidant, and immunomodulatory. It is used as a hardener ingredient and as an emulsion stabilizer. Mannan is also involved in the inhibition of pathogen adherence, regulation of bacterial growth, and enhancement of the immune response.
