70% Oat Beta Glucan Powder UV

What is Oat Beta Glucan Powder?

Beta glucan powder is a high molecular glucose formed by β-glycosidic linkage, derived from fungi (e.g. yeast, mushrooms, etc.), algae, bacteria, plants (oats, barley, etc.), etc., and it is a major component of the cell wall. The beta glucans of oats and barley are mainly linked by β-1,3 glycosidic bonds and β-1,4 glycosidic bonds. Mushroom and yeast sources of β-glucan have their main chains linked by β-1,3 glycosidic bonds and their branched chains linked by β-1,6 glycosidic bonds.

Oat beta glucan powder is a short-chain glucan (molecular weight 5300~257200) with a small relative molecular mass. Oat beta glucan is a non-starch polysaccharide present in the cell wall of oat endosperm and dextrin layer. It consists of monomeric β-D-glucopyranose, a polymer formed by linking β-(1→3) and β-(1→4) glycosidic bonds.

The distribution of the β-(1→3) and β-(1→4) glycosidic bonds are not completely ordered nor completely meta-ordered, and is mainly fiber trisaccharides or fiber tetrasaccharides of β-(1→4) glucan. More than 85% of the oat β-glucan molecules are connected by 1 β-(1→3) glycosidic linkage for every 2 to 3 β-(1→4) glycosidic bonds, and 15% are made up of long-chain β-(1→4) glycosidic bonds spaced 1 β-(1→3) glycosidic bond and may have 4, 5 or 8 glucose residues in its length. The structure of straight-chained and unbranched polysaccharides with β-(1→3) bonds has a ratio of β-(1→4) to β-(1→3) glycosidic bonds of about 2.4:1. Beta glucans accounted for more than 85 percent of the cell wall constituents of the oat endosperm and dextrinous layer.

Benefits:

Lowering Cholesterol

Oat beta glucan is well known for its cholesterol-lowering effects, and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have shown that daily consumption of oat beta glucan powder is beneficial in lowering blood cholesterol levels and reducing the risk of coronary heart disease.

Blood Sugar Control

In 1977, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) stated that oatmeal consumption for a certain period and the threshold value of oat beta glucan will produce a hypoglycaemic effect. Oat βglucan reduces postprandial blood glucose concentrations and modulates the activity of intestinal glucose transport proteins. Daily intake of a certain amount of oat beta glucan powder can improve insulin levels and maintain stable glucose levels in diabetic patients.

Promotes Intestinal Health

Oat beta glucan powder can be used as a prebiotic to promote human health. Oat beta-glucan can form a gel-like network in the human body, change the viscosity of gastric and intestinal fluids, increase the viscosity of coeliacs, and slow down the circulation of coeliacs in the digestive tract. Oat β-glucan can not be digested and decomposed by digestive enzymes, and can well inhibit the growth of mucosal food-loving bacteria in the intestines and stomach.

Oat beta-glucan also improves the intestinal tract by improving the conditions for the colonization of beneficial bacteria (such as lactobacilli and bifidobacteria), increasing the number of microorganisms. In the colon, oat beta glucan is fermented by microorganisms, especially by Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium in the cecum, resulting in the production of bifidobacteria, which are beneficial to human health.

Increases Satiety

Oat beta-glucan may increase satiety after a meal, possibly due to the non-digestible nature of beta-glucan in the gastrointestinal tract. In addition, studies have shown that oat beta glucan powder has an important role in the reduction of abdominal fat and obesity, mainly in terms of lower body weight, body mass index, body fat and waist-to-hip ratio.

Applications:

For Health Products:

The FDA claimed in 1997 that "oats are a saturated fat and low cholesterol food, and that a daily intake of 3 grams of beta glucan can lower serum lipid concentrations and thus reduce the risk of coronary heart disease". 2013, the FDA approved oat beta glucan for "GRAS" certification. "GRAS certification. The French Food Health and Safety Authority (AFFSA), on 2 July 2008, approved claims about beta-glucan lowering cholesterol. "Consumption of foods containing oat bran or foods containing soluble fiber (beta-glucan) of oat origin as part of a balanced diet, without excessive intake of saturated fats and with appropriate exercise, helps to lower cholesterol."

In the Food Field:

Oat beta glucan powder is also widely used in the food industry, such as oat fiber chewable tablets, oat cakes, oat lactone tofu, matsutake oat nutritious meal, oat vinegar, oat preserved meat with composite fruits and vegetables, oat instant noodle, oat cheese, oat porridge, and oat nutritious health wine.

In Meat Product：

Oat beta glucan powder improves water-holding and oil-holding properties and improves organoleptic flavour. Dong Jilin et al. added oat beta-glucan to minced meat and found that the water-holding and oil holding properties of minced meat were improved to some extent. In addition, the sensory properties of minced meat were also improved, with good flavour, tenderness, juiciness and elasticity.

Du Yajun learnt that the honeycomb appearance of oat β-glucan was the main reason for its good adsorption, water holding and oil holding properties. In addition, oat beta glucan also has the taste of fat and can be added to meat food as a fat substitute. For example, when added to sausage, it can not only reduce the proportion of fat added but also reduce the amount of starch used, so that the sausage has a better flavour and texture.
