Quantitative evaluation of E. coli F4 and Salmonella Typhimurium binding capacity of yeast derivatives.

The target of the present study was to quantify the capacity of different commercially available yeast derivatives to bind E. coli F4 and Salmonella Typhimurium. In addition, a correlation analysis was performed for the obtained binding numbers and the mannan-, glucan- and protein contents of the products, respectively.
