Nurture, Devon, PA, has been awarded its third U.S. patent (# 6,624,300) for an innovative, aqueous-based technology for concentrating beta-glucan from sources such as oat bran. According to Nurture, with higher concentration and lower cost than other methods, the patented process provides oat bran’s cholesterol-lowering benefits in a much more convenient, concentrated form for use as a dietary ingredient.
