Everywhere in the world, consumers are becoming literally hungrier for tasty foods that offer definite health and functional benefits. So it is no surprise that oats are a flourishing cereal trend. 

Our partner J. Rettenmaier & Söhne offers a multifunctional nutritional fibre in the form of VITACEL® Oat Fibre. Insoluble fibre is famous for its many nutritional/physiological benefits such as long-lasting satiety, a positive influence on glucose and fat metabolism, and greater stool volume.

The preventive action of insoluble fibre is thus an effective weapon against lifestyle diseases. Our oat fibre, extracted from the oat husk, is also available in EU organic quality.

It is furthermore gluten-free and exhibits no allergenic potential. These properties, combined with a roughage content of 96 %, make oat fibre a valued ingredient in many applications focusing on naturalness and local production, fibre enrichment, calorie reduction and gastrointestinal wellbeing.

    Some example applications

    • Bread and pastries
    • Meat and sausage products
    • Yoghurt products
    • Extrudates and pastas
    • Drinks
    • Fruit preparations
    • Dietary Supplements
    • Frozen and convenience foods

    Oat fibre offers further advantages when it comes to processing, allowing targeted product design as innovations or modifications of existing products, or the creation of new variants that capture the modern zeitgeist.

     

    Technological properties

    • Three-dimensional fibre Network
    • Capillary effects
    • High oil and water binding capacity
    • Texture and structure improvement
    • High microbiological product safety
    • Shelf life of up to 5 years
