Food and Beverages Segment:
Based on Applications, the Beta Glucan market is led by the Food and Beverages Segment. The consumption nutraceuticals and the functional food is on rising as they act as immunomodulators and fat replacements. Increasing prevalence of obesity, diabetes and other chronical diseases have increased the usage of beta-glucan in medicines. However, stringent regulatory policies, difficulty in availability of raw materials, may slow down the growth of the global beta-glucan market.
Cereal is mainly sourced from Oats and Barley and contains the highest amount of Beta Glucan. Products such as PromOat Beta Glucan which is water-soluble helps in fighting against major dominating diseases such as obesity, diabetes and heart disease. It is also helpful in reducing weight and other health management. Nutramunity Beta-Glucan, another product in the market is also a safe and powerful immune-enhancing agent in beverages. According to scientific study, Beta-Glucan lowers serum concentrations of total and LDL cholesterol when incorporated into a fruit drink. Beta Glucan increases the cholesterol-lowering effect with its solubility, viscosity, dose and molecular weight (oat>barley glucan) and may gradually decrease after weeks/months of taking. So, Beta-glucan is added to beverages (juice, drinks) may have a greater effect than beta-glucan in Food (bread or cookie).
