β-Glucans (beta-glucans) Introduction

β-Glucans comprise a group of β-D-glucose polysaccharides naturally occurring in the cell walls of cereals, yeast,bacteria, and fungi, with significantly differing physicochemical properties dependent on source. Typically, β-glucans form a linear backbone with 1-3 β-glycosidic bonds but vary with respect to molecular mass, solubility, viscosity, branching structure, and gelation properties. One of the most common sources of β(1,3)D-glucan for supplement use is derived from the cell wall of baker’s yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). The β(1,3)D-glucans from yeast are often insoluble. However, β(1,3)(1,4)-glucans are also extracted from the bran of some grains, such as oats, are soluble.

Nutrients oats

Oat is a a drought and cold tolerance, resistance barren,and has high nutritional value of cereal crops. Oatmeal is a low-sugar, high-nutrition, high-energy food. In the "Time" magazine's Top Ten Healthy foods, oats ranked fifth. High nutritional value of oats not only in their nutrient-rich protein, fat, etc., but the main thing is it contains β-glucan.Oat beta glucan is a water-soluble non-starch polysaccharides derived from the endosperm of oat, which is linear polysaccharides joined by 1,3 and 1,4 carbon linkages. It is able to attenuate blood postprandial glycemic and insulinemic responses, to lower blood total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, and to improve high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and blood lipid profiles as well as to maintain body weight. Thus, OβG intake is beneficial in the prevention, treatment, and control of diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. In addition, Oat β- glucan is a water-soluble non-starch polysaccharides derived from the endosperm of oat, which is linear polysaccharides joined by 1,3 and 1,4 carbon linkages.  It is able to attenuate blood postprandial glycemic and insulinemic responses, to lower blood total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, and to improve high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and blood lipid profiles as well as to maintain body weight. Thus, OβG intake is beneficial in the prevention, treatment, and control of diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. In addition, more recent studies have shown oat β-glucan may also exhibit immunomodulatory properties.

Main Function

1.Oat Beta-Glucan is beneficial to high cardiovascular disease risk populations.

Oat β-glucan applications

Due to its excellent physical activity, Oat β-glucan has been used for a variety of dietary supplement and functional beverages.It was also used as a food additive in products such as salad dressings, frozen desserts, sour cream, yogurt and cheese spreads.Oat Beta Glucan designed for use in cosmetics and personal care applications.
