β -glucans are bioactive compounds with a wide range of biological properties, including anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and im mune-modulating properties. Due to their specific physical properties, such as (in)solubility, viscosity, and gelation, β -glucans are increasingly being used in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of the different types of β -glucans, their sources, especially Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeasts, and the methods of extraction, isolation, and purification of β -glucans, with the aim of optimizing these methods for the efficient production process. Moreover , the physico-chemical properties, mo difications, current applications and future prospects of the use o f β -glucans in food, medicines, cosmetics and other potential value-add ed products are summarized. The data presented indicate that β -glucans will play an increasingly important role in the sector of special - purpose food products as well as in other current and future areas.
