Abstract
Cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae which are largely employed in Brazil for ethanol production were used as raw material for crude glucan iso lation. The preparation compares very well with others previously desc ribed and was shown to be useful as a thickening agent. The final yiel d (dry crude glucan/dried yeast cells) was about 12%.
