Oat β-Glucan is a functional soluble dietary fiber polysaccharide extracted from selected oat bran through controlled purification and separation technology. It is specifically suitable for puffed food systems, where it can be incorporated into starch-based formulations used in expansion processes.

In puffed products, oat β-glucan integrates into the starch matrix and participates in the expansion structure without significantly disrupting puffing performance. It provides dietary fiber enrichment while maintaining acceptable expansion behavior and product crispness in the final structure.

Unlike conventional additives, this product is approved as a new food raw material (Announcement No. 20 of 2014), making it a clean-label functional ingredient rather than a chemical additive.

• Supports dietary fiber fortification in puffed snack products
• Integrates into starch-based expansion systems without collapse of structure
• Maintains acceptable puffing ratio and product crispness
• Enhances nutritional profile of expanded snack foods
• Natural β-1,3 / β-1,4 glucan with recognized health relevance
• EFSA reference intake support: ≥3 g/day for cholesterol-related benefit
• Suitable for clean-label reformulation of snack products
• Compatible with cereal-based expansion systems

• Puffed snacks
• Breakfast cereals (puffed or expanded types)
• Rice-based or corn-based expanded snacks
• Extruded and expanded crisp products
• Nutritional puffed snack systems

Oat β-Glucan is recommended to be blended with dry raw materials prior to the puffing or expansion process. It disperses well within starch-based systems and can be processed under standard puffing or extrusion-expansion conditions.

It performs best when used in balanced formulations where starch serves as the primary expansion structure, allowing oat β-glucan to function as a functional nutritional modifier rather than a structural replacement component.

Recommended intake: ≤ 5 g/day
For cholesterol-related functional claims: ≥ 3 g/day (EFSA reference level)

Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated environment.
Keep packaging tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption and maintain processing stability.

Shelf life: 24 months under recommended conditions

Produced from certified oat raw materials under controlled extraction and food-grade processing systems, ensuring stable β-glucan content and consistent functional performance in industrial puffed food applications.

Complies with Chinese new food raw material approval (Announcement No. 20 of 2014).
