In the brewing process, the consumption of resources and the amount of waste generated are high and due to a lot of organic compounds in waste-water, the capacity of natural regeneration of the environment is exceeded. Residual yeast, the second by-product of brewing is considered to have an important chemical composition. An approach with nutritional potential refers to the extraction of bioactive compounds from the yeast cell wall, such as β-glucans. Concerning the potential food applications with better textural characteristics, spent brewer’s yeast glucan has high emulsion stability and water-holding capacity fitting best as a fat replacer in different food matrices. Few studies demonstrate the importance and nutritional role of β-glucans from brewer’s yeast, and even less for spent brewer’s yeast, due to additional steps in the extraction process. This review focuses on describing the process of obtaining insoluble β-glucans (particulate) from spent brewer’s yeast and provides an insight into how a by-product from brewing can be converted to potential food applications.

The symbiosis between bark beetles and microorganisms, mostly fungi, has been investigated and reviewed by Graham (1967) and Whitney (1982). Bark beetles and their habitat fungi have been studied separately but a suitable method for studying them in combined culture is lacking. To study bark beetles in the laboratory, a method for axenic rearing was developed by Bedard (1966), then improved by Whitney and Spanier (1982). Beetle development was retarded or nil without the addition of Brewer's yeast to the diet (H.S. Whitney, Pacific Forest Research Station (PFRC), Victoria, BC, pers. comm.). The inclusion of yeast in the diet precludes studies of symbiosis, such as the role of fungi in beetle nutrition. I describe a method for rearing bark beetles with or without a fungal complement to investigate this symbiosis
