Studies from Seoul National University of Science and Technology Further Understanding of Functional Foods (Parabiotic immunomodulatory activity of yeast cell wall polysaccharides from Saccharomyces cerevisiae and S. boulardii).

A recent study from Seoul National University of Science and Technology delves into the immunomodulatory activity of yeast cell wall polysaccharides from Saccharomyces cerevisiae and S. boulardii, two strains with distinct features. The research highlights the differences in immune response attributed to variations in mannan and b-glucan content in their cell walls. This study sheds light on the potential benefits of these functional foods in immune activation and gastrointestinal health, offering valuable insights for the food and feed industries.
