To examine the utilization of the soluble proteoglucan in oats as a nutraceutical ingredient, soluble components were extracted from Oat Bran Concentrate (OBC) by varying the experiment factors such as temperature (40
60oC), ethyl alcohol concentration (0~20%), and pH (5~9), and then analyzed for their compositions and viscosity. The total yield of oat soluble extracts ranged between 6.4~17.9 and the contents of β-glucan, protein, lipid, and ash in oat extracts were 21.4~38.3%, 23.2~29.0%, 8.3~11.8%, and 5.9~7.9%, respectively. The extraction yield increased with the extraction temperature, but decreased with the alcohol concentration and pH. The β-glucan and protein contents increased with increasing temperature and decreasing ethanol concentration. However, the pH level did not influenced those contents. The viscosity of 2% oat extract solution ranged between 8.6~83.1 cp at different share rates, showing the pseudo-plastic flow properties. Results suggested that extraction condition could be controlled the purity of β-glucan and protein and applied commercially to the large-scale process.

귀리를 건강 및 기능성 식품소재로서 개발하기 위하여 귀리 겉겨(OBC)로부터 수용성 -glucan을 중심합성실험계획에 의해 분리하고, 생물활성(항균, 항산화, 암세포 생육저해능)을 검토하였다 귀리 수용성 -glucan 시료는 250, 500/disc농도에서 항균활성을 paper disc method로 검토한 결과 항균력이 없었으며, 5%농도에서 전자공여능(electron donating ability, EDA)으로 측정한 항산화활성도 없었다. 귀
