Liquified oat fibers rich in beta-glucans
General
Liquified oat fibers (in powder form) rich in beta-glucans can be used in a large number of applications to add taste and nutrition. It is a natural product which forms a stable suspension and reduces the need for additives.
-
Careful selection, modification, optimization and combination of specific bio-processing and oat raw materials.
-
A patented technology for producing liquified oats from fiber-rich oat raw materials is used.
-
The use of liquified oat fibers avoids the slimy texture normally found when soluble fiber (e.g. beta-glucan) is added.

Higher content is possible depending on application and selection of oat raw material. The technology secures the well-known cholesterol lowering properties of oats, which has been confirmed in several clinical studies.
