Oat Beta Glucan Powder is a natural functional ingredient isolated by innovative water-based enzymatic or physical separation techniques, i.e., without adding unpleasant compounds, of whole oat grains (Avena sativa) to obtain weight loss beneficial glucan, without denaturation, maintaining all the nutritional properties of the food. Its final product is a pale beige to yellow light finely powdered material, which is water soluble and amenable to a broad range of formulations. It contains an important active component, beta-1,3/1,4-glucan, which is a soluble dietary fiber and a component of physiological value, especially protective of the cardiovascular system and healthy cholesterol levels. The primary role is the formation of post-gastric viscous gel in the human digestive system, which facilitates the slowing of glucose absorption and satiety. The ingredient is highly employed in the food and beverages industry, particularly in functional foods through cereals, drinks, and nutrition bars. It is also finding more extensive use in dietary supplements and personal care products due to its moisturizing and skin conditioning effects.
