Abstract

Changes of the supramolecular structure of the yeast cell wall under the action of mechanical activation are studied. It is established that the reactivity of the polysaccharides of cell wall towards the subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis increases substantially. A new method to obtain biologically active mannanooligosaccharides is proposed; this method is based on the mechanical activation of enzymatic hydrolysis of the components comprising the supramolecular structure of cell wall, followed by extraction of the target components.
