What it is
Isolated oat fiber is a dietary fiber derived from oats. It is produced by processing oats to separate the fiber components from other parts of the grain, such as starch and protein. This results in a concentrated source of fiber.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add isolated oat fiber to foods to increase their fiber content without significantly altering taste or texture. It can also act as a bulking agent and improve moisture retention. It is commonly found in processed meats like sausages and hot dogs, as well as baked goods and cereals.
Health notes
Isolated oat fiber is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Dietary fiber plays a role in digestive health. JECFA has evaluated oat beta-glucan, a component of oat fiber, and established guidance on its health claims. Evidence suggests that soluble fibers like those found in oats can contribute to heart health by helping to manage cholesterol levels when consumed as part of a balanced diet.
Allergen info
Oats themselves are not one of the nine major allergens. However, oats can be contaminated with gluten from wheat, barley, or rye during growing or processing. Products labeled 'gluten-free' should not contain gluten.
