High Quality Oat Beta Glucan Powder 20%

High Quality Barley Oat Beta Glucan Powder    

High purity oat beta glucan powder is a natural water-soluble dietary fiber extracted from oat bran by advanced biotechnology. As a unique active component of oat, it can maintain healthy level of cholesterol and blood glucose, etc.

In 2014, L&P Food Ingredient became the 1st and only manufacturer to obtain the novel food ingredient approval for Oat Beta Glucan 70% by NHFPC.

Basic introduction:  

Product Characteristics:  

Oat beta glucan is a white to light-yellow water-soluble fiber, neutral taste powder that integrates easily into a wide variety of foods, beverages and functional ingredients.

1.Solubility : Oat beta glucan selected should be highly soluble,the solubility is related to the content of beta glucan.The higher content,the better solution. It’s clean on taste and smooth texture can provided benefits in the taste of beverage.

2.Stability : Oat beta glucan is heat and acid stable, suitable for a wide variety of food industrial processes.

3.Stabilizer : Oat beta glucan has strong viscosity and emulsifying properties. It thickens and stabilizes creamy emulsions system, has fat-like properties, easy to use in reduced-fat product.

4. Shelf Life Extender : Oat beta glucan has strong water holding capacity. In the application of biscuits and bakery products, shelf-life can be extended by adjusting moisture content.

Physiological Functions: 

Oat beta glucan is a unique soluble fiber dietary fiber extracted from oats, bringing your products well-recognized function of oats, including maintaince of healthy cholesterol levels, reduction of  blood glucose and protect the digestive system, etc.

1. Healthy Cholesterol Levels Maintenance

Many clinical trials over the years from all over the world have shown that the oat beta glucan can lower the LDL cholesterol and total cholesterol. High cholesterol is one of risk factors in the coronary heart disease. Adding oat beta glucan to the foods helps to protect the health of heart. Research studies have demonstrated that compared to the control group, intake by 5g/day oat beta glucan can reduce total cholesterol by up to 7.4%.

The European Commission has granted the following health claim: Oat beta glucan can lower the cholesterol levels. Iintake of 3g/day oat beta glucan can lower the LDL level in serum there by reducing the risk of coronary heart disease.

2. Blood Glucose Response Reduction

Oat beta glucan is an active ingredient with effect of reducing blood glucose response. Many clinical trials showed that intake of 30g carbohydrate at least including 4g oat beta glucan can help reduce blood glucose levels after the meal. During the evaluation of the research for intake of 5g oat beta glucan after meal, the blood glucose reduce by 19%（p<0.005）30 minutes after meal, and the blood glucose reduce by 16%（p<0.066）60 minutes after meal.

The European Commission has granted the health claim for oat beta glucan that consumption of oat beta glucan can reduce of the blood glucose after meal.

3.Healthy Digestive System Improvement

Oat beta glucan can improve and maintain the colon health by affecting gut microbial components and metabolism, increasing moisture, fermentating to generate useful short chain fatty acids. Based on in vitro intestinal fermentation model, oat beta glucan can be fermented to produce more butyrate than any other fiber, thus can improve the colon health, because butyrate is the main energy source for colonocytes and has demonstrated anti-inflammatory and anticarcinogenic properties. (Reference: Katie M Queenan，Nutrition Journal 2007, 6:6)
