Grains and cerealis estimated to account for the largest share in 2020for beta-glucan based on the source segment
Grains & cereal, and yeast are the major sources of beta-glucan compared to seaweed and mushroom due to the ability of beta-glucan to successfully activate and boost the immune system. Oat and barley foods have been shown to reduce the risk of glucose intolerance by slowing glucose absorption after a meal. At the same time, mushroom beta-glucans differ structurally and don’t affect glucose absorption. Accordingly, different sources have different impacts and advantages on human and animal health post-consumption, which has significantly contributed to the growing use of grains and cereals as one of the key sources for the beta-glucan market.
The soluble category of the beta-glucan will hold the largest share in the beta glucan market along with growing at one of the fastest rate
Soluble beta-glucans are widely consumed by humans owing to the easy application and various other benefits. Beta-glucans obtained from bacteria, fungi, and yeast are generally insoluble, while those obtained from cereals are soluble. Soluble fiber helps maintain blood sugar constant, while insoluble fiber is vital for balanced digestion. Soluble beta-glucan has multiple health benefits and the solubility factor has been a key area which has driven the growth and demand. Soluble beta-glucan fibers can be found in good amounts in oats, which again is a key sourceof good cholesterol and a healthy ingredient. It prevents getting reabsorbed into the bloodstream, thereby lowering the risk of heart disease. The soluble dietary fibers segment which include the likes of beta-glucan also reduces the total plasma cholesterol furtherlowering the glycemic index of food and helps in better digestion making it a key ingredient for healthier food categories.
