What it is

Oat bran fiber is a soluble fiber derived from the outer layer (bran) of oats. It is separated from the oat groat during the milling process. The bran is then further processed to isolate and concentrate the fiber.

Why it's used

Oat bran fiber is added to foods for its nutritional value as a source of dietary fiber. It can also act as a thickener and emulsifier, helping to improve texture and stability in products. It is commonly found in breakfast cereals, baked goods, and nutritional supplements.

Health notes

Oat bran fiber is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Soluble fiber, like that found in oat bran, has been shown to help lower cholesterol levels when consumed as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated oat beta-glucan, a major component of oat bran fiber, recognizing its role in heart health. Evidence suggests it may also help manage blood sugar levels.

Allergen info

Oat bran fiber is not derived from one of the nine FDA major allergens. Oats are naturally gluten-free, but cross-contamination with wheat, barley, or rye during growing or processing can occur, so some products may not be gluten-free.
