The present invention provides a polysaccharide rich composition comprising beta-glucan, chitin and chitosan, extracted from the cell wall of Saccharomyces cerevisiae from the by-product biomass resulting from a brewing process, the process for obtaining it and the uses thereof. The composition exerts, among other biofunctionalities, a selective fat binding effect so it is useful in the prevention and/or treatment of a disorder such as overweight, obesity, hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia, blood hypertension and cardiovascular disorders. It can be formulated as edible, pharmaceutical or a veterinary product. La présente invention concerne une composition riche en polysaccharides qui contient du bêta-glucane, de la chitine et du chitosane extraits de la paroi cellulaire de Saccharomyces cereviciae, à partir de biomasse qui est un sous-produit d'un procédé de fabrication de bière, son procédé d'obtention et ses utilisations. Cette composition présente, entre autres fonctions biologiques, un effet sélectif de ligand de graisses, utile pour la prévention et/ou le traitement de maladies telles que le surpoids, l'obésité, l'hypercholestérolémie, l'hypertriglycéridémie, l'hypertension artérielle et les troubles cardiovasculaires. Elle peut être formulée comme produit alimentaire, pharmaceutique ou vétérinaire.
