Summary:This application is related to an application entitled "Improved Method for Preparing Small Particle Size Glucan" and an application entitled "Improved Method for Preparing Small Particle Size Glucan in a Finely Dispersed Powder" filed on the same day as the present application. An improved method for purifying glucan to small particle size glucan and drying the glucan to a solid such that the glucan may be re-hydrated and maintain substantially maintain a particle size of one micron or less so that it may be used in nutritional, pharmaceutical and pharmacological compositions where a dry material is desired such that a greater immunological benefit may be obtained.
