Food Grade 70%/80% Pure Oat Beta Glucan Additive

Introduction

Frong Certified Organic (EC) Oat Beta-Glucan is a soluble fiber derived from the oats (Avena sativa) endosperm cell walls and is a free flowing powder. Because of its neutral taste it may be used in a wide variety of formulations in food, beverage, nutraceutical and cosmetic industries. The FDA may allow a  Hearty Healthy claim for some foods containing beta-glucan soluble fiber.

Oat Beta-Glucan is a natural polymer comprised of individual glucose molecules that are linked together by a series of beta-(1,3) and beta-(1,4) linkages, comprising a class of non-digestible polysaccharides called beta-D-glucans. This unique array of linking may promote several consumer health benefits. It may lower the risk of coronary heart disease by significantly lowering LDL cholesterol, hypertension, glycemic response and stimulating immune cell functionhemical structure of oat beta-glucan showing the beta-(1,3) and (1,4) glycosidically linked glucose polymer structure.
