Oat β-Glucan is a functional polysaccharide ingredient extracted from selected oat bran through controlled purification and separation processes. It is clinically recognized for its ability to reduce blood LDL cholesterol concentration and lower the risk of coronary heart disease.
It contains natural soluble fiber fractions that form viscous solutions in the digestive tract, binding bile acids and cholesterol, making it suitable for a wide range of food applications where cardiovascular health support and functional nutrition are required.
Unlike common food additives, this product is approved as a new food raw material (Announcement No. 20 of 2014) and is specifically designed as a functional food ingredient with EFSA-backed health claims rather than a chemical additive.

Oat β-Glucan can be directly added into food systems or dry ingredient blends before mixing.
It shows good dispersibility in dry formulations and can be used in standard food processing without requiring modification of existing production lines.
For cholesterol-lowering health claims, a minimum daily intake of 3g is required per EFSA guidelines. Recommended daily consumption: ≤5g/day.
Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated environment. Keep packaging tightly sealed after opening to avoid moisture absorption and quality degradation.
Shelf life: 24 months under recommended storage conditions.
