Title “Developing a cholesterol-lowering bread based on oat beta-glucan fibre
The cholesterol-lowering effect of oat beta-glucan fibre is well-known. It has been scientifically proofed and acknowledged by authorities in the USA and in Europe. However, developing a good-tasting bakery product qualifying for the health claim is challenging, since beta-glucan is sensitive to degradation during the baking process. Degradation may weaken the cholesterol-lowering effect. This case study describes the development of a cholesterol-lowering bread, which is now commercially available.
