For instance, wine is produced from sugar found in grapes, cider is extracted out of the sugar found in apples, beer made from the sugar founded in malted barley and vodka from the sugar found in beets and potatoes.

Alcohol is classified as a ‘sedative hypnotic’ drug. It means that alcohol acts to slow down the central nervous system (CVS) at substantially high doses. At lower doses of alcohol, it induces feelings of talkativeness and euphoria and it acts like a stimulant. However, drinking of too much of alcohol at one go often leads to respiratory problems, drowsiness, or even death.

Rapid industrialization and fast-paced urbanization have resulted in hectic lifestyle that demands consumption of processed food. The potential usage of beta glucan as functional ingredients in the food industry is acting as a catalyst for the rapid growth of the global yeast extract and beta glucan market.
A sizeable chunk of the revenue in the global yeast extract and beta glucan market arises from the extensive requirement for yeasts in the production of functional food and dairy products, particularly across Europe. The growing usage of yeast extract and beta glucan in the many other sectors such as beverages, animal feed, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals is continuously improving the market.
The global yeast extract and beta glucan market is expected to reap benefits from the growing need for yeast extracts and beta glucan in the making of cellulosic biofuels. Besides, their usage in the probiotic functional food segment is also an attractive opportunity for market players.
Yeast extracts might not be used as flavor enhancers but they find substantial application as ingredients in the food and beverage industry. Ready-to-eat meals, functional foods and drinks, baked and frozen products, sauces, soups, and snacks all make use of yeast extracts at a significant rate.
On the other hand, one of the major factors that is restraining the growth of the global yeast extract and beta glucan market is the scarcity of a compulsory yeast extract raw material, i.e. molasses. Nonetheless, companies are keeping their hopes alive with the available opportunities in the sector of processed food for novel solutions and extensive usage of yeast extracts and its derivatives.
