The invention relates to a method for extracting beta-glucan from cereals. The extraction is carried out using wetted cereals by adjusting the pH thereof to a value below 5.2 with an acid, and further, by treating the cereal in an enclosed space under pressure less than about 5 bar, at a temperature of 100-130° C. After the treatment, the liquid phase is separated from the solid material, followed by recovery of beta-glucan from this separated aqueous phase. |
