Oat (Avena Sativa) Extract Powder 10:1, 20:1, 50:1 TLC, Beta-Glucan,Β-Glucan 70%, 80%, 98% UV
【Botanical source】: Avena sativa L.
【Part used】: Seeds
【Specification】: 10:1, 20:1, 50:1 TLC, Beta-Glucan,Β-Glucan 70%, 80%, 98% UV
【Extraction solvents】: Water
【Appearance】: Offwhite to light yellow fine powder
【Particle size】: 95% pass 80 mesh size
【Main ingredients】: Oat extract is rich in β – glucan, which is a core functional ingredient and a water-soluble dietary fiber. It also contains proteins, polyphenols (such as oat anthracene amide), saponins, vitamin E, and minerals. These ingredients work together to exert physiological functions such as lowering cholesterol, antioxidation, regulating blood sugar, and improving the skin barrier.

Chemical Components

Oat extract’s bioactivity is attributed to a synergistic blend of compounds, standardized often for key components:

• β-Glucan: A soluble dietary fiber (1→3, 1→4-β-D-glucan), the most studied component, responsible for cholesterol and glycemic benefits.
• Avenanthramides (AVAs): Unique polyphenolic alkaloids (e.g., A, B, C) found almost exclusively in oats, with potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
• Saponins (Avenacosides): Particularly avenacoside B, which hydrolyzes to the antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory sapogenin.
• Proteins & Peptides: Rich in globulin and avenalin, with skin-protective and emulsifying properties.
• Tocotrienols & Tocopherols: Vitamin E isoforms with antioxidant activity.
• Minerals: Zinc, silicon, and iron.

Health Benefits (Evidence-Based)

1. Cardiovascular Health: β-Glucan is FDA-approved for heart health. It reduces total and LDL cholesterol by binding bile acids in the gut. AVAs improve endothelial function and may reduce blood pressure.
2. Glycemic Control: β-Glucan’s viscosity slows gastric emptying and glucose absorption, lowering the postprandial glycemic and insulin response.
3. Dermatological Health: Topically, colloidal oatmeal is FDA-approved as a skin protectant. It soothes itching and inflammation (via AVAs), repairs the skin barrier (via lipids and proteins), and cleanses gently (saponins).
4. Antioxidant & Anti-inflammatory: AVAs inhibit NF-κB activation and the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-8), beneficial for both systemic and topical conditions.
5. Neuroprotective & Anti-depressant Potential: Emerging research indicates tryptophan and AVAs may influence serotonin production and offer neuroprotective effects, though more human data is needed.
6. Prebiotic Effect: β-Glucan is fermented by gut microbiota, promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria like Bifidobacterium.

Interactions & Contraindications

• Diabetes Medications: May potentiate hypoglycemic effects; blood glucose monitoring is advised.
• Celiac Disease/Gluten Sensitivity: While oats are inherently gluten-free, cross-contamination with wheat is common. “Certified gluten-free” oats are required for these individuals.
• Digestive Issues: Sudden high intake of β-glucan may cause transient bloating or flatulence.
• Contraindications: Rare oat allergy. Individuals with dysphagia or intestinal strictures should avoid dry/insufficiently hydrated oat products.

Warnings & Side Effects

Extremely safe. Potential side effects are mild and gastrointestinal (if consumed in excess). Topical use is non-irritating for most, but patch testing is recommended for those with sensitive skin or oat allergy.

Applications

• Nutraceuticals & Functional Foods: β-Glucan supplements for cholesterol, oat bran in cereals, oatmeal as a functional food.
• Cosmeceuticals & Skincare: A key ingredient in moisturizers, cleansers, anti-itch creams, bath soaks, and products for eczema-prone skin (colloidal oatmeal).
• Pharmaceuticals: Used in skin protectant ointments and as an excipient.
• Beverages: Oat milk and other oat-based drinks.
