Quality Control

Our Oatbetaglucan80% is produced under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and purity. Quality is verified through comprehensive analytical testing, including assay for β-glucan content, viscosity, and microbiological limits. While this product is suitable for food and nutraceutical applications, we can provide material compliant with relevant standards such as FCC (Food Chemicals Codex) upon request. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters is available for every batch.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent moisture absorption and caking.
