The natural, healthy, functional oat ingredient
PromOat Oat beta-glucan is a high-concentration, soluble oat bran fibre, containing very little insoluble fibres. It is extracted from Swedish wholegrain oats without the use of chemicals. PromOat is a natural source of beta-glucan, the dietary fibre in oat bran that provides important health and functional benefits. In the body, oat beta-glucan helps to maintain healthy cholesterol levels, blood glucose levels and digestion. As a functional ingredient, it thickens and stabilizes emulsions and imparts an indulgent, creamy mouthfeel. PromOat is available in both conventional and gluten-free versions.
