<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a β-glucan composition with excellent effect in diabetes improvement, such as insulin secretion-promotion, blood sugar level rise inhibition, and good water solubility, and a production method to obtain β-glucan composition having such features by simple operations in a short time. <P>SOLUTION: The β-glucan composition contains following (A), (B) and (C) components with the mass ratio of 10 to 85:10 to 85:5 to 60 (where (A)+(B)+(C)=100), where (A) is water-soluble β-1, 3-1, 4-glucan with a molecular weight of 500,000 or more, (B) is water-soluble β-1, 3-1, 4-glucan with a molecular weight of 20,000 to less than 500,000, and (C) is water-soluble β-1, 3-1, 4-glucan with a molecular weight of 500 to less than 20,000. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
