Oat Beta-Glucan is a water-soluble dietary fiber with a white to light yellow appearance and a neutral taste, making it easy to incorporate into a wide range of food and beverage formulations. It is an ideal functional ingredient for enhancing both nutritional value and product performance.

Excellent water solubility, delivering a clean, smooth mouthfeel and helping to enhance beverage texture.

Stable under acidic, alkaline, and thermal conditions, making it suitable for various food processing applications.

Good viscosity and emulsifying properties, contributing to improved emulsion stability and providing fat-mimetic functionality, ideal for use in low-fat formulations.

Strong water-holding capacity, which helps extend the shelf life of baked goods such as biscuits and cakes by optimizing moisture retention.

Oat Beta-Glucan is a unique soluble dietary fiber extracted from oats. It enables food and beverage products to deliver the well-recognized health benefits of oats, including helping to maintain normal cholesterol levels, reducing postprandial glycaemic response, and supporting digestive health.

Oat Beta-Glucan supports digestive and colonic health by modulating the composition and metabolic activity of the gut microbiota, enhancing intestinal water retention, and being fermented by intestinal bacteria to produce beneficial short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs).

Based on in vitro intestinal fermentation models, oat beta-glucan has been shown to produce higher levels of butyrate than other dietary fibers. This contributes to improved colon health, as butyrate is the primary energy source for colon cells (colonocytes) and has also been shown to possess anti-inflammatory and anticarcinogenic properties.
