This type of beta-glucan is also referred to as a mixed-linkage (1→3), (1→4)-beta-D-glucan.

But if you are one of those who can't have avenin either, rest assured that you can get the cholesterol-lowering fibre found in oats (known as beta-glucan, it binds to cholesterol, limiting its absorption in the gut) in other gluten-free foods.

The recommended daily intake of beta-glucan is 3g of which 1.5g can be consumed through a single serving of Jungle Oats.

It is loaded with the goodness of soluble fibre known as beta-glucan that can help in lowering blood pressure levels and also improving digestive health.

Algal cell walls contain either polysaccharides (such as cellulose (a glucan )) or a variety of glycoproteins ( Volvocales ) or both.

In comparison, the indigestible polysaccharide cellulose is also a beta-glucan, but is not soluble because of its (1→4)-beta-D-linkages.

The enzyme glucan, water dikinase (GWD) phosphorylates at the C-6 position of a glucose molecule, close to the chains 1,6-alpha branching bonds.
