B-CAN® Oat Beta-Glucan is a soluble fiber derived from the oat’s (Avena sativa) endosperm cell walls. It is a natural polymer comprised of individual glucose molecules that are linked together by a series of Beta (1 2) and Beta (1-4) linkages, comprising a class of non-digestible polysaccharides called beta-D-glucans. This unique array of linking may promote several functional and consumer health benefits. B-CAN® Oat Beta-Glucan is a free flowing powder that contains 23 times more beta glucan (soluble oat fiber) than typical oats. Because of its neutral taste it may be used in a wide variety of formulations in food, beverage, nutraceutical and cosmeceutical industries. The FDA may allow a “Heart Healthy” claim for some foods containing beta-glucan soluble fiber.
