BETA GLUCAN EXTRACTION FROM CEREALS

摘要

The invention discloses a process for separating gelling beta -glucan from cereals. The process involves: 1) extracting a soluble factor from cereal flour into solution, and not extracting beta -glucans into solution; 2) separating the starch from the solid residue remaining after the first step; and 3) adding the extract from the first step to the non starch residue from the second step. The soluble factor causes gelling beta -glucan to be released, from the non starch residue, into solution.
