Industrial-Grade Barley Dietary Fiber (β-Glucan Enriched)
Manufactured by Xi'an Tihealth Biotechnology Co., Ltd.
Xi'an Tihealth is a specialized global B2B manufacturer of high-grade Barley Dietary Fiber. We rigorously source from premium, non-GMO barley grains (Hordeum vulgare L.). Utilizing advanced enzymatic hydrolysis and precision membrane separation technologies, we effectively isolate the endosperm cell walls and aleurone layers, yielding a highly concentrated functional hydrocolloid matrix rich in β-Glucans, arabinoxylans, and insoluble cellulose.
Our industrial-scale extraction is strictly standardized to deliver up to 90% Total Dietary Fiber (TDF) and customizable Barley β-Glucan concentrations (from 20% to 70% via Megazyme assays). Engineered for superior water-holding capacity, exceptional rheological stability, and a neutral flavor profile, our micronized powder acts as a profound natural prebiotic and lipid-lowering agent. It serves as an essential, clean-label functional ingredient for advanced metabolic syndrome adjuvants, low-Glycemic Index (GI) baked goods, cardiovascular nutraceuticals, and premium dairy alternatives globally.

Manufacturing & Processing Excellence
Targeted Enzymatic Cross-linking
Unlike raw bran or basic grain flours that are dense in useless starches, Tihealth utilizes a proprietary two-stage enzymatic fermentation. This targeted biological cleavage safely isolates the structural β-glucans and converts insoluble carbohydrates into highly bioactive soluble fiber fractions, achieving exceptional TDF concentrations exceeding 70%.
Advanced Micronization & Drying
Standard fiber additives often ruin the mouthfeel of beverages with severe grittiness. We process our extract via high-pressure homogenization and instantaneous spray drying, atomizing the hydrocolloid into ultra-fine micro-particles (80-120 mesh). This significantly increases the specific surface area, accelerating hydration rates and yielding a smooth, viscous gel.
Uncompromising Clean-Label Sourcing
We completely reject chemical solvents in our extraction process. Relying entirely on aqueous enzymatic hydrolysis and HTST (High-Temperature Short-Time) pasteurization, we produce a 100% clean-label ingredient. Furthermore, our raw barley is strictly audited to ensure zero heavy metal bioaccumulation and no pesticide contamination.
Evidence-Based Physiological Mechanisms
Cardiovascular & Lipid Management
The highly concentrated soluble β-glucans form highly viscous gels within the digestive tract. This macromolecular gel physically chelates (binds to) bile acids and dietary cholesterol, preventing their reabsorption. The liver is consequently forced to pull circulating LDL cholesterol from the blood to synthesize new bile acids, effectively lowering total serum cholesterol levels.
Glycemic Index (GI) Modulation
The profound water-holding capacity and viscosity of the fiber matrix significantly delay gastric emptying. By slowing the enzymatic hydrolysis of dietary carbohydrates in the small intestine, it blunts postprandial (after-meal) blood glucose spikes, drastically reducing insulin demand and providing critical metabolic support for diabetic formulations.
Prebiotic Microbiome Fermentation
Because barley fibers resist degradation by human digestive enzymes, they arrive intact in the colon, acting as a potent prebiotic. They undergo selective fermentation by beneficial gut flora to produce Short-Chain Fatty Acids (SCFAs, e.g., butyrate), which optimize intestinal pH, suppress pathogenic bacteria, and fortify the mucosal barrier integrity.
Mechanoreceptor Satiety & Weight Control
Upon hydration, the dietary fiber rapidly swells, drastically increasing gastric bolus volume. This expansion triggers early mechanoreceptor stretch signals in the stomach wall, conveying a prolonged sensation of fullness (satiety) to the brain, naturally reducing overall caloric intake in weight management protocols.
Industrial Formulation Applications
Functional Bakery & Extruded Foods
Acts as an exceptional texturizer, crumb-softener, and moisture-retaining agent in low-carb breads, protein bars, and extruded cereals, instantly upgrading them to high-fiber, low-GI functional status.
Ready-to-Drink (RTD) Beverages
Our micro-milled fractions are ideal for formulating smooth, high-fiber meal replacement shakes, barley teas, and dairy-alternative functional drinks without unwanted grittiness.
Metabolic Dietary Supplements
The core active ingredient in specialized encapsulated powders targeted for pre-diabetic glycemic control, cardiovascular defense, and therapeutic lipid-lowering protocols.
Clinical Enteral Nutrition
A highly fermentable prebiotic fiber source incorporated into medical tube-feeding formulas to sustain gastrointestinal flora and bowel motility in critical care environments.

Formulator & Procurement FAQ
01. What is the difference between Barley β-Glucan and Oat β-Glucan?
While both are highly functional mixed-linkage (1→3, 1→4) β-D-glucans, Barley naturally contains a higher baseline concentration of β-glucan in its endosperm compared to oats. This allows us to achieve higher purity extractions (up to 70%) with distinct, robust rheological properties, making barley fiber an exceptionally cost-effective viscosity builder and prebiotic.
02. What testing method is used for your Dietary Fiber quantification?
We strictly utilize the internationally recognized AOAC Official Methods (e.g., AOAC 991.43) for Total Dietary Fiber, and the highly specific Megazyme enzymatic assay for the precise quantification of β-glucans, ensuring full regulatory compliance for your nutritional labels.
03. Is this ingredient suitable for completely clear beverage applications?
Standard high-TDF barley fiber forms a highly viscous, cloudy colloidal suspension rather than a completely transparent solution. It is ideal for smoothies, dairy milks, and meal replacement shakes. For applications requiring absolute optical clarity, please inquire about our specific low-molecular-weight, fully hydrolyzed β-glucan grades.
04. Can you guarantee the product is free from heavy metals and pesticides?
Absolutely. We proactively mitigate this risk by sourcing exclusively from unpolluted, non-GMO agricultural zones. Every batch is verified via ICP-MS and GC-MS to ensure heavy metals and pesticide residues remain strictly below FDA and EU food safety limits.
05. What is the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) and packaging standard?
Our standard MOQ for mass production is 25kg, securely packed in multi-wall Kraft paper bags with food-grade PE inner liners to prevent moisture ingress. We also supply 1kg foil bags for pilot manufacturing and R&D trials. Standard dispatch is within 7-10 days.
