Product Description

Product Description

 

Basic Information

 

• Source: Oat beta-glucan is mainly derived from the bran part of oats (Avena sativa L.). It is a polysaccharide separated from oat bran through a series of extraction processes. Oats are a common cereal and are widely cultivated around the world.
• Chemical Structure: Oat beta-glucan is a linear polysaccharide composed of glucose units linked by β-(1→3) and β-(1→4) glycosidic bonds. This special chemical bond structure endows it with many unique properties.
• Appearance and Properties: It is usually in the form of a white to light yellow powder, odorless and tasteless. The powder has a fine texture, good fluidity, and has a certain degree of solubility in water.

Components

 

• Main Component: Its core component is oat beta-glucan. The purity may vary depending on different production processes and product requirements. In high-purity oat beta-glucan products, the content can reach above 70% - 90%.
• Impurity Components: It may contain small amounts of proteins, starches, fats, and other polysaccharide impurities. In high-quality products, the contents of these impurities will be strictly controlled to ensure the efficacy and quality of oat beta-glucan. For example, the protein content may be controlled below 5%, and the fat content will also be at a relatively low level.

Specifications

 

• Content Specifications: There are commonly different purity specifications of oat beta-glucan products on the market, such as 50% purity, 70% purity, 90% purity, etc., to meet different application needs. The higher the purity, the more targeted its functional applications may be.
• Packaging Specifications: There are diverse packaging specifications. Common ones include 1 kg/bag, 5 kg/drum, 25 kg/bag, etc., which are used for industrial production or large-quantity wholesale packaging forms. There are also small-dose ones, such as 100 g/bottle, 500 g/can, etc., which are suitable for retail or laboratory research use.

Quality Standards

 

• Detection Methods:
  • For the detection of oat beta-glucan content, the commonly used method is high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). By comparing with standard products, its content can be accurately determined.
  • Meanwhile, chemical colorimetric methods are also used to detect polysaccharide content. For example, the phenol-sulfuric acid method is used to indirectly determine the content of oat beta-glucan according to the color reaction.
  • In terms of impurity detection, the Kjeldahl method is used to detect protein content, and the Soxhlet extraction method is used to detect fat content.
• Quality Indicators:
  • The purity requirement depends on the product grade and application. Generally, high-purity products require the content of oat beta-glucan to be above 70%.
  • The moisture content usually needs to be controlled below 8% - 10% to prevent the product from getting damp, caking, and affecting its performance and shelf life.
  • Microbiological indicators are strict. The total number of bacteria generally does not exceed 1000 cfu/g, the number of molds and yeasts does not exceed 100 cfu/g, and harmful bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Salmonella should not be detected.

Efficacy and Functions

 

• Immune Regulation: Oat beta-glucan can activate immune cells such as macrophages and natural killer cells in the immune system, enhancing the body's non-specific immune function. For example, in animal experiments, animals that ingested oat beta-glucan showed a significant increase in the activity of immune cells and an improvement in their resistance to pathogens.
• Cholesterol Reduction: It can bind to bile acids and promote the excretion of bile acids. When the excretion of bile acids increases, the liver will use cholesterol to synthesize more bile acids, thereby reducing the cholesterol level in the blood. Clinical studies have found that long-term intake of an appropriate amount of oat beta-glucan is helpful for improving blood lipid status.
• Blood Glucose Regulation: Oat beta-glucan can delay the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates and slow down the speed at which glucose enters the blood, thus helping to regulate blood glucose levels. For people with diabetes or those with high blood glucose levels, reasonable consumption of foods containing oat beta-glucan may help control blood glucose.
• Intestinal Health Maintenance: In the intestine, oat beta-glucan can act as a prebiotic, providing nutrients for beneficial bacteria (such as bifidobacteria and lactobacilli), and promoting the growth and reproduction of beneficial bacteria. This helps maintain the balance of the intestinal flora, improve the microecological environment of the intestine, and prevent intestinal problems such as constipation and diarrhea.

Application Fields

 

• Food Industry:
  • As a functional food ingredient, it is widely added to various foods, such as breakfast cereals, biscuits, bread, etc. Adding oat beta-glucan to breakfast cereals can not only increase the nutritional value of the product but also enhance its health care functions.
  • In the beverage industry, it is used to make functional beverages, such as oat beta-glucan drinks, providing consumers with convenient healthy drink options.
• Health Product Industry: It is made into various health products, such as capsules, tablets, and powdered nutritional supplements. These health products are mainly targeted at people who pay attention to health and hope to regulate their body functions by supplementing oat beta-glucan.
• Cosmetics Industry: Due to its good moisturizing and skin repair properties, oat beta-glucan also has applications in the cosmetics field. It can be added to skin care products, such as creams, lotions, masks, etc., to help the skin retain moisture and enhance the skin's barrier function.

Product Cases

 

• A certain brand of oat beta-glucan capsules: Each capsule contains 700 mg of oat beta-glucan with a purity of over 90%. This product is mainly targeted at people with high blood lipid levels and weak immune systems. It is recommended to take 2 - 3 capsules a day. By taking it orally, it can supplement oat beta-glucan for the human body and play its role in regulating blood lipids and enhancing immunity.
• A certain oat beta-glucan functional beverage: Each 100 ml of the beverage contains 5 g of oat beta-glucan, and some vitamins and minerals and other nutritional components are also added. This beverage focuses on the concept of a healthy drink and is suitable for drinking after exercise or in daily life, providing consumers with a convenient way to ingest oat beta-glucan while supplementing energy and nutrients.
