Description

Beta-glucans are naturally present in cereals, like oats and barley. They are polysaccharides composed of glucose molecules, linked together with mixed β (1-4) and β (1-3) bonds. Orafti® β-Fit can be labelled as beta-glucan rich barley flour.

 

People can lower their cholesterol levels by consuming 3g of beta-glucans every day. These are naturally present in cereals like oats and barley. With Orafti® β-Fit, consuming ones portion of beta-glucans becomes a lot easier for the consumer. It can be added to a wide range common foods people tend to already have in their shopping trolley, like breakfast cereals. And instead of having to eat 3 bowls of cereal to achieve their daily portion of beta-glucans, simply 15 grams Orafti® β-Fit is included into 1 bowl of cereals and the same result is achieved.
