Long-term high-efficiency moisturizing effect. Improve the immune function of the skin, its activity is nearly twice higher than that of yeast β-glucan. Enhance skin protection and improve skin’s ability to resist irritation. Promote fibroblasts to synthesize collagen, promote wound healing, and have a good skin repair function. This product is easily soluble in water. Recommended dosage， Low-end products are 1 to 2%; mid-end products are 3 to 5%; high-end products are 8 to 10%. Tests show that oat beta-glucan is non-irritating to skin and eyes. Oat β-glucan is added at a temperature of 80°C, preferably in the water phase.

The β-(1→3, 1→4) glucan in oats is abbreviated as oat β-glucan/Oat Beta Glucan, which is a non-starch polysaccharide that exists in the cell wall of oat endosperm and aleurone. It is a high molecular polymer formed by the monomer β-D-glucopyranose, which is connected by β-(1→3) and β-(1→4) glycosidic bonds. Among them, the distribution of β-(1→3) and β-(1→4) glycosidic bonds are not completely ordered nor completely ordered, mainly cellotriose or cellotetraose of β-(1→4) glucan , More than 85% of oat β-glucan molecules have one β-(1→3) glycosidic bond between every 2~3 β-(1→4) glycosidic bonds, and 15% are connected by long-chain β- The (1→4) glycosidic bond is composed of a β-(1→3) glycosidic bond, which may have 4, 5 or 8 glucose residues in length. A straight-chain and unbranched polysaccharide structure with β-(1→3) bonds, in which the ratio of β-(1→4) and β-(1→3) glycosidic bonds is about 2.4:1. In oat endosperm and aleurone layer cell wall components, β-glucan accounts for more than 85%. Oat β-glucan is a short-chain glucan with a small relative molecular weight, and its relative molecular weight varies from 5300 to 257200.

Oat gum is the extracted form of oat β-glucan, which also contains a small amount of starch and protein. Because β-glucan is an important component of oat endosperm cell wall, it is often extracted from oat bran. The extraction process of β-glucan generally has three steps: ① treat part of the endogenous enzyme with ethanol solution and remove small molecule free sugar, protein and some non-polar compounds; ② treat and degrade starch with thermostable α-amylase, This step can be carried out simultaneously with the extraction of non-starch polysaccharides; ③Adding ammonium sulfate to preliminary purification of the extracted β-glucan or enzymatically removing and degrading arabinoxylan.

reduce cholesterol

As early as many years, scientists have discovered that beta-glucan can reduce the rate of gastrointestinal absorption of fatty acids and reduce the synthesis of human cholesterol. As the research on beta-glucan has matured, scholars have carried out experiments on animals and humans. A large number of experiments have confirmed that bata-glucan has specific physiological functions in lowering cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein. Scientists have found that the effect of beta-glucan on cholesterol is mainly to significantly reduce total cholesterol (TC) and plasma in plasma. Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDI-TC), but has no significant effect on high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and triglyceride (TG). Oat glucan has a significant effect on lowering cholesterol in people with hyperlipidemia.
Oatmeal has the effect of lowering blood lipids and serum cholesterol and has important effects on the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and diabetes. Among them, the effective ingredient that plays a health role is β-glucan in oats.

Hypoglycemic

After consuming dextran oatmeal food every day, the patient's blood sugar level can be reduced by about 50%, and the use of oatmeal food can significantly reduce blood sugar. Oat sweat dextran can reduce blood lipid content, improve blood flow performance, and accelerate the absorption and utilization of sugar It also has a good repairing effect on liver and kidney tissue lesions complicated by diabetes, and can effectively reduce the decomposition of liver glycogen, resulting in lower blood sugar.

Strengthen immunity

Oat Beta Glucan has immunomodulatory effects. Oat beta-glucan can increase the proliferation of mouse lymphocytes and enhance the ability of mice to resist bacterial invasion; it can stimulate mouse peritoneal macrophages to release tumor necrosis factor (TNF-ALPHAhe) and The release of interleukin-1 (In-terlukinIL-1) and macrophage p338DI, after gavage or parenteral injection of oat glucan, the amount of serum immunoglobulin in mice increased significantly, indicating that oat glucan can improve the immunity of mice The role of force.

Anti-cancer function

The short-chain fatty acids produced by oat glucan fermentation in the intestine can reduce the activity of microbial metabolic enzymes such as glucosidase, glucuronidase, and urease; viscous β-glucan can also increase the secondary bile in the intestine The excretion of acid, these enzymes, and secondary bile acid are the inducing factors of colon cancer, so oat glucan has an anti-cancer effect.

Improve intestines

Oat β-Glucan cannot be hydrolyzed in the small intestine but is degraded in the large intestine and used as a substrate for bacterial fermentation to produce short-chain fatty acids, especially butyric acid, which is beneficial to intestinal function. Oat β-glucan can make mice Bifidobacteria and lactobacilli in the intestines and feces increase in value, which reduces the number of E. coli. Therefore, oat glucan also improves intestinal function and promotes the increase of beneficial intestinal bacteria.

Beauty effect

People have long known to use oatmeal to treat dry skin and itching. The method of application is to make a paste of oatmeal and apply it to the skin. But because of the different production methods, the quality of oats is different and the effect is difficult to maintain stability. With the development of science and technology, scientists have gradually discovered the main ingredients and mechanism of action of oatmeal beauty and skincare.
Oat β-glucan has excellent anti-aging effects, can smoothen fine wrinkles, improve skin elasticity, and improve skin texture; it has a unique linear molecular structure, which gives good transdermal absorption performance; promotes fibroblasts Synthesize collagen, promote wound healing, repair damaged skin, and give the skin a silky moisturizing and smooth touch.
