Gluten-Free Oat Bran Concentrate - Betafiber - betaglucan - For beverage cosmetic nutraceutical formulation

Product Code: OGLUCAN70GF

Introduction
B-CAN® Soluble Oat Fiber's 70% oat beta-glucan GF raw material is a Gluten-Free soluble fiber ingredient derived from the oat's (Avena sativa) endosperm cell walls. It 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 (betaglucan). This unique array of linking supports 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 function. B-CAN® Soluble Oat Fiber (70% oat beta-glucan) raw material is a free flowing ingredient powder that contains 23 times more betaglucan than typical oats and is tested to be Gluten-Free (<20 ppm gluten). Because of its neutral taste and color it is an ingredient that may be used in a wide variety of formulations in the food, beverage, nutraceutical and cosmetic industries. The US FDA allows a qualified health claim for soluble fiber from certain foods that reduce the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD).
