PromOat Oat Beta-Glucan Applications
PromOat oat beta-glucan offers a diverse range of applications in food-related products. Read more about the applications and PromOat's functional benefits below.
Mayonnaise
PromOat oat beta-glucan can be used as a texturizer, providing with thickness, creaminess and a good mouthfeel, without imparting the grittiness typical in oats. It can be incorporated in the product together with other hydrocolloids for unique textural properties. PromOat can be used to stabilize emulsions and to replace fat, providing with a low-fat mayonnaise of indulgent texture. PromOat can also be used to replace the emulsifier in the formulation, giving the opportunity of producing a vegan version.
Cosmetic products
PromOat oat beta-glucan can be added to cosmetic products in order to thicken them and stabilize emulsions. It is a soluble beta glucan that provides with a smooth texture and does not impart the graininess typical of oat products. It can be used in combination with Avenacare - Betaglucans of smaller molecular weight, for soothing and moisturizing the skin, reducing appearance of redness, in sun protection products, or reducing the visible signs of aging.
