Oat Beta Glucan Powder Water Soluble 80%

What is Oat Beta Glucan Powder?

Oat Beta Glucan Powder is a water-soluble dietary fiber sourced from the plant oat, which is safe and edible. It can have some beneficial physiological functions on the human body due to its viscous nature that hinders the digestion and absorption of starch, protein and other substances. Oats are mainly composed of glumes and endosperm, which is wrapped by pericarp, seed coat, dextrins and sub-dextrins. Oat beta glucan is mainly located in the endosperm cell wall of its seed grain, and there is also a large amount of aggregation in the sub-dextrin layer.

Oat beta glucan is extracted from oat bran. Currently, the commonly used methods of oat beta glucan extraction at home and abroad are water extraction, alkali extraction, acid extraction, ultrasonic extraction and so on. The most commonly used method is mild water extraction to remove insoluble glycans, addition of amylase to remove starch, isoelectric point precipitation to remove protein, and finally water-soluble oat beta glucan powder with higher purity is obtained by alcoholysis. The yield of oat β-glucan from oat bran was about 4%.

Benefits:

Reduces Cholesterol

The beta glucan in oats enters the intestine, absorbs water and swells, absorbs cholesterol and bile, and wraps up excess fat and cholesterol in the intestine, reducing its absorption by the body. As early as 1963, it has been found that oatmeal bread, which replaces ordinary bread, can lower LDL cholesterol. Research by American experts shows that a patient with high blood cholesterol can reduce "bad cholesterol" by 8% with a daily intake of 3-4 grams of beta glucan. In 2010, the European Food Safety Authority, EFSA, also approved a health claim that oat beta glucan can reduce cholesterol levels.

Good for Intestinal Health

Beta-glucan itself is water-soluble, and after absorbing water, it can moisturize the intestines, promote intestinal peristalsis, and prevent constipation, as well as shorten the time of waste passing through the intestines and reduce the stimulation of intestinal carcinogens to the intestinal tract, thus preventing the effect of intestinal cancer. In addition, oat beta glucan powder can not be absorbed by the body, fermented in the colon, producing propionic acid, butyric acid, and other short-chain fatty acids, inhibit putrefactive bacteria, promote probiotics, maintains the balance of intestinal flora, prevent diarrhoea or constipation.

Enhancement of Immunity

Long-term studies have found that beta-glucan can enhance the vitality of macrophages and quickly kill invading viruses, bacteria, fungi and other disease-causing microorganisms. When there are necrotic tissues, bacteria or other foreign substances present in the body, beta-glucan wakes up the macrophages and gives it a helping hand.

Helps Regulate Blood Sugar

Insulin is a hormone that lowers blood sugar. A major reason for diabetics to have abnormal blood sugar regulation is that the pancreas is overworked for many years, making it overworked and less sensitive (insulin resistance). Oat beta glucan powder helps to reduce the absorption of sugar from food, and also has the effect of calming the rise in blood sugar after meals, thus reducing the workload on the pancreas. This in turn enhances insulin sensitivity and improves insulin resistance.

Applications:

In the Food Field:

Oat beta-glucan powder can be used in a variety of products such as health food, beverages, dairy products, cereal meal replacements, etc. It can increase the fibre content of the product and improve the taste and texture. It not only increases the fibre content of the product but also improves the taste and texture of the product. Oat beta glucan helps to reduce the fat and sugar content in food, provides low/no/reduced sugar innovation, meets the demand for clean labelling, and is an ideal functional ingredient for the development of new food products.

In Solid Beverages:

Oat beta glucan is used as an efficacious raw material with prebiotic and dietary fiber efficacy and is often used with probiotics in gut health food applications.

In Ice Cream:

Oat beta-glucan powder can be used as a thickener and stabilizer in the production of ice cream. The addition of 0.2% oat β-glucan to low-fat ice cream resulted in better ice cream texture, better melt resistance, and improved ice cream expansion and viscosity.

In Dairy Products：

Oat beta-glucan powder can thicken, viscosity, stable nature in an acidic environment and improve the organoleptic properties of the product. Liang Ying et al. added oat beta-glucan to yoghurt for testing and found that yoghurt with added oat beta-glucan had a smooth texture, delicate taste and milky flavour, and had good organoleptic properties. Oat β-glucan is a viscous polysaccharide, so adding it to yoghurt increases its viscosity and has a thickening effect. Yoghurt contains a large number of probiotics that are beneficial to intestinal health and the overall environment is acidic, but oat beta glucan is stable in yoghurt, with little change in water-holding capacity and viscosity over the shelf-life of the content.

Oat beta glucan powder can also be used as a fermentation substrate for probiotics such as bifidobacteria and lactobacilli. Jia Jianbo used oats and skimmed milk powder as the main raw materials to make oat bio-milk containing active ingredients with health care functions.
