Exopolysaccharides (EPSs) are high molecular weight polysaccharides secreted by microorganisms in the
surrounding environment. In addition to the favorable benefits of these compounds for microorganisms,
including microbial cell protection, they are used in various food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic
industries. Investigating the functional and health-promoting characteristics of microbial EPS, identifying
the isolation method of these valuable compounds, and their applications in the food industry are the
objectives of this study. EPS are used in food industries as thickeners, gelling agents, viscosifiers, and
film formers. The antioxidative, anticancer, prebiotic, and cholesterol-lowering effects of some of these
compounds make it possible to use them in functional food production.
