Yeast β(1-3),(1-6)-d-glucan films: Preparation and characterization of some structural and physical properties

► Films prepared from β-glucan concentrate isolated from the cell walls of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. ► Water insoluble, compact, non-porous and crystallinity-lacking films. ► Chemical and physicochemical properties of the films. ► Effects of one-year ageing of the films.
