Cevena Bioproducts has launched Viscofiber, a grain-based, high-viscosity beta-glucan derived from the cellular walls of oats and barley. Viscofiber beta-glucan concentrate is available in two forms, which are derived from either oat or barley at concentrations of 50% and 60%, respectively. The high concentration of beta-glucan is achieved via Cevena’s gentle patented manufacturing process that leaves the structure of beta-glucan relatively unchanged, thus preserving the original high viscosity. When ingested, Viscofiber works to improve cholesterol levels and exert a beneficial post-prandial glycemic response. Viscofiber, which is GRAS-approved and Kosher-certified, may be used in dietary supplements, beverages, nutritional bars and other functional foods.
