To obtain a β-glucan and a β-glucan complex having excellent physiological regulation function and excellent physiological activation function and provide a method for producing an oligomerized β-glucan that is safe when it is used as a food, a medicine or a cosmetic, very easy to handle since the problems on thickening, or the like, can be controlled when it is produced or used, and in addition, its formulation quantity is not substantially limited because it can be readily powdered or concentrated.
This invention provides β-glucans respectively originating from microorganisms, cereals, Basidiomycetes, and further a glucan complex containing two or more kinds of these β-glucans. In addition, the invention provide a method for producing the oligomerized β-glucan by allowing a hydrolytic enzyme to act on the β-glucans originating from microorganisms, cereals or Basidiomycetes.
