High Viscosity Oat β-Glucan – Functional Hydrocolloid for Texture & Mouthfeel Enhancement
High Viscosity Oat β-Glucan is a functional soluble dietary fiber polysaccharide extracted from selected oat bran through controlled purification and separation technology. It is characterized by a high molecular weight structure (>600,000 Da), making it particularly suitable for texture modification and mouthfeel optimization in food systems.
In food formulations, it functions as a natural hydrocolloid that contributes to creaminess, smoothness, and viscosity build-up, especially in liquid and semi-solid systems. It is widely used in applications where rich mouthfeel and premium texture perception are key product attributes.
Unlike conventional texture modifiers or food additives, this product is approved as a new food raw material (Announcement No. 20 of 2014), positioning it as a clean-label functional ingredient rather than a chemical rheology agent.

High Viscosity Oat β-Glucan should be introduced into the liquid phase under sufficient shear to ensure full hydration and viscosity development. Its functional performance is closely related to dispersion efficiency and hydration conditions.
It is typically applied in systems where controlled viscosity build-up and smooth sensory profile are required, and is suitable for both beverage and semi-solid formulations.
Recommended intake: ≤ 5 g/day
For cholesterol-related functional positioning: ≥ 3 g/day (EFSA reference level)
Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated environment.
Keep packaging tightly sealed to prevent moisture uptake and maintain rheological performance.
Shelf life: 24 months under recommended storage conditions
