A novel kefir exopolysaccharides (KEPS) derived from kefir grain fermentation were found to have a small molecular weight (12 kDa) compared to the traditionally high molecular weight (12,000 kDa) of kefiran (KE). KE has been shown to possess antioxidant, blood pressure-lowering, and immune-modulatin...
