What is the significance of beta glucan?

Beta-glucan
"As with many foods, a small portion of the population should avoid Baker's yeast. Extensive research has demonstrated that a component of the yeast cell called "mannan" may trigger an allergic reaction or inflammatory bowel flare in individuals with yeast allergies, Inflammatory Bowel Disease or Crohn's Disease. Unfortunately, some Beta Glucan dietary supplements manufacturers fail to adequately separate the Beta Glucan from the mannan and mannoproteins and other components of the yeast cell."
