Abstract:
1. A method for producing an oligo-saccharide enhanced oat-based drink useful in treating hyperlipidaemia and hyperglycemia and improving gastrointestinal function, comprising the following steps: (1) Providing an oat slurry of micronized oat powders having an average particle size of less than about 100 μm; (2) Treating the oat slurry with β-amylase to a viscosity of about 0.3 to 0.1 Pas, and with α-amylase and trans-glucosidase to a viscosity of 0.05 to 0.01 Pas; (3) Inactivating the enzymes with heating, and then cooling the reaction mixture; and (4) Subjecting the reaction mixture to Ultra High Temperature (UHT) to provide a stable oligo-saccharide enhanced oat-based drink with natural oat flavor and aroma.
