Decoding the growing demand for high-viscosity soluble fibers in modern health systems
Oat Bran Beta Glucan is a naturally occurring, water-soluble polysaccharide comprised of linear, unbranched chains of D-glucose linked by β-(1→3) and β-(1→4) glycosidic bonds. Widely recognized for its outstanding physiological properties, this dietary fiber acts as a key prebiotic agent that supports the cardiovascular system, regulates blood glucose levels, and maintains intestinal tract integrity.
As global markets shift towards "clean-label" food formulations and high-potency nutraceutical products, oat beta glucan has transitioned from a basic functional fiber to an active pharmaceutical and cosmetic ingredient. Its ability to create viscosity at low concentrations makes it an exceptional stabilizer, texturizer, and moisture-binding agent. China has established itself as the center of global cultivation and high-precision extraction, offering consistent batch-to-batch molecular weight control and security against supply disruptions.
Engineered purity profiles designed to preserve bioactivity and molecular integrity
Our core extraction process isolates Oat Bran Beta Glucan using a solvent-free aqueous method coupled with enzymatic digestion. This preserves the high molecular weight (>1,000 kDa) required to trigger the optimal viscosity in the human digestive system, supporting health claims recognized by regulatory bodies such as the FDA and EFSA.
Controlling the shear rate during isolation is critical. High molecular weight beta glucan forms a gelatinous mesh in the intestinal tract to slow down lipid absorption. Our facility utilizes low-temperature membrane filtration and gentle spray drying to guarantee stable viscosity from batch to batch.
Many commercial oat extracts suffer from strong cereal odors and poor solubility. Our advanced purification stages remove residual proteins, lipids, and starches. The resulting oat bran beta glucan powder is neutral in taste, odor-free, and dissolves into a clear, smooth suspension.
Innovative B2B integration across global regulatory landscapes and consumer products
Optimized particle sizing ensures easy powder flow in capsule filling machinery. High bulk density facilitates high active loads for direct target dosing in daily fiber supplements.
Excellent cold-water solubility prevents settling in plant milks, yoghurts, and RTD protein drinks, delivering a creamy mouthfeel without adding fat or sugar.
Acts as an anti-inflammatory, soothing film-former. Penetrates deep into the dermis to stimulate collagen synthesis, reducing fine lines and accelerating skin barrier repair.
Acts as an all-natural fat replacer. Improves moisture retention in breads and pastries, extending shelf life while lowering overall calorie counts.

Ensuring sustainability and innovation through GACP-compliant agricultural bases
UniCare invests 10% of our annual net profit in research and development. In addition to optimizing and developing the existing natural plant extraction process, we have also established a professional R&D department for natural fermentation products. By increasing investment in natural fermentation products, we try to break through the traditional processes and disrupt industry development.
UniCare has deep cooperation with Beijing University of Chemical Technology in the field of fermentation, jointly developing and transforming new raw materials for pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and natural health products into mass-produced applications.
In order to control raw materials more efficiently and with higher quality, a raw material procurement system has been established, which extends procurement to every piece of planting land and can trace the raw materials of each batch of products. The storage of raw materials is operated according to the advanced quality management system process, and the content of active ingredients, moisture, ash, heavy metals, pesticide residues and other items of raw materials are strictly controlled.
At the same time, in order to further ensure the high quality of important products, UniCare cooperated with planting farmers to establish ginkgo leaf planting bases, epimedium planting bases, phellodendron planting bases, olive leaf planting bases, etc. Some of these bases are planted strictly in accordance with the GACP management model.
