Oat Glucan

Oat glucan is a soluble fibre derived from the oat endosperm cell wall. It is a natural polymer comprised of individual glucose molecules that a re linked together by a series of beta-(1,3) and beta-(1,4) linkages. This unique array of linking makes it with several consumer health benefits, as follows, preventing coronary heart disease by significantly lowering LDL(Lower Density Lipoprotein) blood cholesterol and increasing HDL(High Density Lipoprotein) cholesterol levels, promoting healing of wounds, stimulating immune cell function, protecting and moisturizing the skin.
In 1998, the American Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued its final rule allowing health claims to be made on the labels of foods containing soluble fibre from whole oats.

Chemical Structure :Chemical structure of beta-glucan from oats is composed of beta(1,4)-linked glucose units separated every two to three units by a single beta(1,3)-linked glucose.
