GTC Nutrition, a business unit of Corn Products International, Inc., has opened its specialty oats manufacturing facility in Missoula, MT. The new facility currently produces OatVantage, a highly concentrated soluble fiber that contains 54% beta-glucan, more than 18 times greater than regular oats. It is suitable for both human and animal consumption. “We are excited to add OatVantage as an ingredient that will help to support our heart and glycemic health platforms, enabling our customers to obtain a unique competitive advantage in the markets they serve,” said Patrick Smith, president of GTC Nutrition. OatVantage oat bran concentrate will be marketed and distributed globally by GTC Nutrition.
