- Advantages
B-CAN® Oat Beta-Glucan is 10-12 times more concentrated than Oat Bran. Unlike Oat Bran, B-CAN® Oat Beta-Glucan is a water soluble ingredient with a neutral taste profile. It is manufactured from Non-GMO Oats and is Kosher and Halal certified. B-CAN® Oat Beta-Glucan is also GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) ingredient.
- Benefits
B-CAN® Oat Beta-Glucan helps to lower serum cholesterol, can help to reduce the posty prandial glycemic response and aid in promoting proper digestion as a prebiotic soluble fiber. The highly concentrated soluble fiber in B-CAN® Oat Beta-Glucan can be used as a fat replacer, viscosity builder, and as ingredients to contribute to satiety. All these benefits enable formulations that support heart-health, healthy blood sugar levels, weight loss and good digestion.
- Quality Assurance
Every batch of B-CAN® Oat Beta-Glucan is continually monitored throughout the proprietary manufacturing process to ensure its stringent product specifications are met. Full quality analysis are conducted at the factory and verified by certified independent laboratory analysis as well.
Applications & Uses
- Applications
- Food & Nutrition Applications
- Applications
B-CAN® Oat Beta-Glucan is a free-flowing, water-soluble powder. Possible product applications include dietary supplement capsules and tablets, liquids, semi-solid and solid foods as well as in cosmetic applications. B-CAN® Oat Beta-Glucan being a highly concentrated soluble oat fiber, provides healthy benefits at low application levels, compared to other sources of soluble oat fiber
- Dosage
- The U.S. FDA suggests that the dosage of oat soluble fiber for a potential hypocholesterolemic effect is approximately 3 grams daily, while the whole oat-containing food must provide at least 0.75 grams of beta-glucan per serving.
