90% Oat Beta Glucan Powder USP2021 Standard

What is Oat Beta Glucan?

Oat beta glucan is a non-starch polysaccharide present in the cell wall of oat endosperm and dextrin layer and is a small molecular weight dietary fiber. Beta glucan accounts for more than 85% of the cell wall composition of oat endosperm and dextrin layer. Oat beta glucan is a short-chain glucan with a small relative molecular mass, and its relative molecular mass varies from 60,000 to 2,000,000 daltons.

Studies have shown that the dry basis content of bet glucan in oat bran is generally 2.1-3.9%. It is a macromolecular unbranched linear mucopolysaccharide formed by linking β-D glucopyranose units through β-(1→3) and β-(1→4) glycosidic bonds. It contains about 70% β-(1→4) bonds and 30% β-(1→3) bonds.

Oat beta glucan itself is a fiber polysaccharide, and the body does not have the enzymes to break down oat glucan, which is hardly broken down into monosaccharides. Oat beta-glucan becomes gelatinous when dissolved in water, which slows down the absorption of fats and carbohydrates when it enters the digestive tract and enhances satiety.

Green Spring Technology supplies Water Soluble 90% Oat Beta Glucan Powder USP2021 Standard, which is a natural active ingredient extracted from oats. It is a natural active ingredient extracted from oats. The raw material comes from China's high quality oat production area and is developed through advanced enzyme engineering technology and nano ultrafiltration technology. Compared with traditional oat glucan products, it can be completely dissolved in an aqueous system, the product does not add any preservative system and has superior permeability.

Benefits:

Benefits for Gut Health

The microbial community in the body provides important protection against external factors, and beta-glucan, an important prebiotic component, can have a positive impact on the gastrointestinal microbiota. Oat beta glucan powder can form a gel-like network in the body and change the viscosity of gastric and intestinal fluids. Moreover, oat β-glucan powder cannot be digested by digestive enzymes (salivary amylase, etc.), and it can inhibit the growth of mucus-feeding bacteria in the intestines and stomach.

Oat β-glucan also protects the liver by improving the reproduction conditions of beneficial bacteria (such as lactobacilli and bifidobacteria) and increasing the number of microorganisms. In the large intestine, oat beta glucan powder is fermented by microorganisms, especially by Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium in the cecum, resulting in the production of bifidobacteria, which are beneficial to human health.

Cholesterol Lowering

Oat beta-glucan powder is well known for its cholesterol-lowering effect. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have shown that as little as 3 g of oat beta-glucan per day is beneficial in lowering blood cholesterol levels and reducing the risk of coronary heart disease. Studies have shown that a daily intake of at least 3 g of oat β-glucan reduces plasma total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol levels in patients with normal or high cholesterol. Analyses showed that oat β-glucan had a lowering effect on LDL-cholesterol, and non-HDL-cholesterol, therefore, foods rich in beta glucan powder may have the potential to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Anti-diabetes

Diabetes mellitus is generally characterized by high blood glucose levels, with excessive drinking, eating, urination, and weight loss as typical symptoms. Studies have shown that oat β-glucan can lower cholesterol and triglycerides, and maintain stable blood glucose levels. Tappy et al. demonstrated in a clinical trial that the hypoglycaemic effect of oats and oat bran was mainly attributed to oat β-glucan. Abbasi et al. demonstrated that oat β-glucan could lower postprandial blood glucose concentration and regulate the activity of intestinal glucose transporter protein, providing an effective way to lower blood glucose levels in diabetic patients.

Abbasi et al. demonstrated that oat beta -glucan powder can reduce postprandial blood glucose concentration and regulate the activity of intestinal glucose transport proteins, providing an effective way to lower blood glucose levels in diabetic patients. Biorklund et al. found that β-glucan-rich beverages had a positive effect on glucose and insulin levels. Consumption of 5 g of oat β-glucan improved insulin levels and stabilized glucose levels.

Applications:

For Health Products:

2010 The European Food Safety Authority's Panel on Dietetic Products, Nutrition and Allergies (EFSA's Panel on Dietetic Products, Nutrition, and Allergies) concluded that there is a causal relationship between the consumption of oat beta-glucan and the lowering of blood LDL cholesterol concentrations. Oat beta-glucan reduces/lower the blood cholesterol concentration and when the blood cholesterol concentration is lowered, the risk of heart disease (coronary) is also lowered. The panel concluded that a minimum daily intake of 3g of oat beta-glucan for adults is required to justify oat beta-glucan health claims. China approved oat beta-glucan powder as a new food ingredient in 2014 for use in all products except baby food.

In Meat Products:

Oat beta glucan powder has the taste of fat, can be added to meat food as a fat substitute, such as added to the sausage, not only can reduce the proportion of fat added, but also reduce the use of starch, so that the sausage has a better flavour and texture, to improve the water-holding and oil-holding properties, and to improve the sensory flavour.

In Dairy Product:

Oat beta-glucan powder is a viscous polysaccharide that is added to yoghurt to increase its viscosity and have a thickening effect. Yoghurt contains a large number of probiotics that are beneficial to intestinal health and the overall environment is acidic, but oat β-glucan is stable in yoghurt, with little change in water-holding capacity and viscosity over the shelf-life of the content; oat β-glucan can also be used as a substrate for the fermentation of probiotics, such as bifidobacteria and lactobacilli.
