Laroche C, Michaud P. New developments and prospective applications for beta (1,3) glucans. Recent Pat Biotechnol. 2007;1(1):59-73. doi: 10.2174/187220807779813938.

Abstract. This review focuses on these beta-(1,3)-D-glucans with the objective to detail the strategies employed for their extraction and the relation structure-functions identified when they induce biological activities.

Bais D, Trevisan A, Lapasin R, Partal P, Gallegos C. Rheological characterization of polysaccharide-surfactant matrices for cosmetic O/W emulsions. J Colloid Interface Sci. 2005 Oct 15;290(2):546-56. doi: 10.1016/j.jcis.2005.04.044.

Abstract. Rheometrical techniques can be profitably used for polysaccharide matrices in order to evaluate their suitability for the preparation of stable cosmetic O/W emulsions. In particular, the rheological properties of aqueous scleroglucan systems were investigated under continuous and oscillatory shear conditions in a polymer concentration range (0.2-1.2% w/w) embracing the sol/gel transition.
