Zusammenfassung:	Beta-glucan having improved properties is provided. This .beta.-glucan preparation possesses a significantly higher molecular weight and viscosity than .beta.-glucans prepared by standard means. These properties enable the .beta.-glucan to be better resistant to enzymatic degradation, to exhibit a longer residence time in the gastrointestinal tract, and to extend the shelf life of food products to which it is added.
