Biomass naturally contains polysaccharides. Some plant biomass, such as wood, pulp, straw, etc., will release polysaccharides (such as α-glucan and β-glucan) after biomass conversion or other processing, and convert them into soluble forms, causing them to appear in the treatment fluid. α-Glucan is a polymer composed of α-glucose units, commonly found in starch. β-Glucan is a polymer composed of β-glucose units commonly found in cellulose walls. The existence of these polysaccharides mainly originates from the composition of the biomass itself, as well as the conversion and generation during biomass processing. Creative Biolabs has established a comprehensive Biomass Profiling Platform. We provide diversified analysis services such as Lignocellulose Profiling, Process Liquid Analysis, and Seaweed Profiling. Analysis of α-glucan and β-glucan in biomass process liquid helps optimize biomass conversion processes, monitor the quality of biomass processing processes, and provide critical information and support to all aspects of the biomass processing industry.
We process samples obtained from biomass process liquid through filtration, dilution, etc.
We accurately record the experimental process and result data, calculate the α-glucan and β-glucan contents in biomass process liquid according to the above-mentioned measurement methods, and provide a final report or conclusion for our clients.

β-glucan, one of the most abundant polysaccharides, is present in the cell wall of the mushroom fruiting body and has multiple pharmacological effects and low toxicity. This polysaccharide is widely used in the food, health care, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. The authors conducted a comparative analysis of β-glucan composition in two types of Enoki mushrooms (wild type and commercial type) of the same species under the same substrate and environmental conditions. They validated the results of the enzymatic β-glucan assay kit using HPLC. Moreover, the authors used atomic force microscopy (AFM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to characterize and analyze its structure. The results showed that the β-glucan content levels in the extracts of the two types of Enoki mushrooms were similar, but the commercial type of β-glucan was more soluble. The author used HPLC to quantify the total glucan in Enoki mushrooms, and the results were close to those determined by the enzyme kit. FT-IR and NMR results showed that the two types of Enoki mushrooms had similar β-glycosidic bond structures. However, the α-configuration has only been confirmed in commercial Enoki mushrooms. AFM results showed that the β-glucan of commercial Enoki mushrooms has a shorter, narrower, and multi-branched spatial structure. These findings illustrated the value of commercial Enoki mushroom β-glucan for applications in food or healthcare fields.
