Research on prebiotic fibres found in Arrabina™-P show gut health benefits.
Multiple prebiotic compounds
Arrabina™-P naturally contains compounds such as arabinoxylan, xylooligosaccharides, beta-glucan and polyphenols.
Gut-friendly
Arrabina™-P is a certified low FODMAP fibre.
Versatile applications
High solubility and low viscosity for easy incorporation in a variety of food, beverage and supplement applications
Upcycled certified
A sustainable upcycled ingredient with a low carbon footprint.
An_ in vitro _SHIME-like (a gut simulation of colonic fermentation) study indicates that Arrabina™-P promotes greater microbial diversity at lower doses than inulin³, a commonly used dietary fibre. A clinical study has shown that even at higher dosages, Arrabina™-P maintains excellent tolerability, allowing consumers to meet their daily fibre requirements without the associated digestive discomfort, such as bloating.⁴ The extraction process used to produce Arrabina™-P ensures that its natural fibre profile is present, contributing to its health benefits.
Arrabina™-P’s unique fibre complex is attributed to its patented extraction process from a non-GMO crop sidestream using only steam, water and pressure. The process is powered by renewable energy, creates no new crop acres and requires little water. Partnering with farmers throughout Denmark, our work benefits farmers, allowing them to profit from the entire harvest and reduce waste.

Generally considered healthier and more nutritious than the other main cereals, oats offer a full range of benefits in a single ingredient. OatWell™ can be provided in three different concentrations of beta-glucans, all delivering both soluble and insoluble fibres, along with an average of 21% - 23% protein.
OatWell™ uses a unique production process to fractionate the oat kernel into three product lines: beta-glucan products, oat flours, and oat oils. Our production process preserves the native structure of oat beta-glucans, retaining their high molecular weight during fractionation into oat brans with a high amount of beta-glucans.
The molecular weight of oat beta-glucan is essential to delivering health benefits. OatWell™'s beta-glucan has a very high molecular weight (2000-2500 kDa as naturally found in oats), which contributes to its unique viscosity and thickening properties. This viscosity has an important impact on physiological functions, such as reducing blood cholesterol levels, moderating blood glucose and insulin levels, and potentially benefiting satiety.
Benefits of OatWell’s high molecular weight:
The prebiotic effects of oat bran fibre have been validated through years of research. In a review by Malkki and Virtanen, they cite: “in the large bowel, soluble dietary fibre increases the fermentation activity, especially production of butyric acid, enhances growth and colonisation of some probiotic bacterial strains, increases production of microbial mass and thereby aids the removal of nitrogen via faeces. It also increases wet weight of stools, thereby alleviating constipation”.²¹
Research conducted on oat beta-glucan demonstrates that it meets three important criteria, confirming its status as a prebiotic fibre:¹ ²
