Key Highlights:
· Beta-Glucan is a natural fiber that occurs in the bran of barley, oats, and wheat, and can also be extracted from the cell walls of baker’s yeast. The Beta-Glucan linkages and chemical structure differ with regards to solubility, mode of action, and overall biological activity.
· Beta-Glucan, as soluble fibers, forms viscous aqueous solutions and increases the viscosity of gut contents in the human intestinal system. Soluble fibers help in the absorption of cholesterol; resulting in a lower blood cholesterol uptake, which is one of the key risk factors of cardiovascular diseases.
· Beta-Glucans are widely used in the bakery industry in products such as biscuits and pastas because of their viscosity properties. Combined with other ingredients, Beta- Glucans are being used as fat-replacers in many food and beverage products.
