Barley has long been known as a food good for health and is widely eaten. It contains about 5% β-glucan, a soluble dietary fiber. We are offering a wide selection of barley β-glucan products that have a β-glucan content of 30-70%.
Our barley beta-glucan products can be used without anxiety for a wide range of foods and supplements with health functions.

We develop and provide, by using the most advanced nanotechnology, information electronic materials of the advanced information age, and highly functional materials that will benefit energy conservation and environment conservation.

A product developed by purifying β-glucan extracted from barley. Features a high content of β-glucan (70% or more). The rest of the ingredients are derived from barley. Suitable for the intake of β-glucan itself.

A product developed by purifying β-glucan extracted from barley. Features a high content of β-glucan (60% or more). While E70-S is a fine powder, C60-P is soluble in water and clump free because it is a scale-like powder.

The product contains almost four times the amount of β-glucan that barley does (about 5%). Containing all the barley components, it is suitable for the intake of the entire barley components as well as β-glucan.

β-glucan, a kind of soluble dietary fiber, is a polymer made of a large number of glucose molecules bound by β-connection. Depending on the binding mode, it is categorized as β-1,3-1,4-, β-1,3-1,6-, etc. showing the binding position of glucose.
Mushroom, baker's yeast, and black yeast (Aureobasidium pullulans)-derived foods contain β-1,3-1,6-glucan.
Barley and oats contain 3-8% β-1,3-1,4-glucan, which is a primary constituent of soluble dietary fiber. Based on the molecular structure, "Barley Beta-Glucan" is β-1,3-1,4-glucan, and "Fermented Beta-Glucan" is β-1,3-1,6-glucan.
