- Oat bran is a by-product of the grinding of oat husks that may have a protein content of up to 30% and is particularly high in essential amino acids, especially lysine and tryptophan. Furthermore, in addition to being rich in [3-glucan, oat bran contains a significant amount of insoluble dietary fiber, which helps to promote intestinal peristalsis and to excrete toxins from the body.
- oats and oat bran provide many benefits to the human body, the intestinal tract has low utilization of unprocessed oats, so it cannot improve and regulate the intestinal tract, and oat bran is rarely used in food products due to its rough texture and poor taste. As such, existing oat products can be improved in terms of taste, flavor and nutritional content to meet the needs of the public.

BACKGROUND
[0003] Oat is the grain of Avena sativa L., a plant of the genus Avena in the family Poaceae. As one of the main sources of human food, oats are rich in sugars, amino acids, vitamins, minerals and a variety of active ingredients with antioxidant effects such as polyphenols.
[0004] Oat bran is a by-product of the grinding of oat husks that may have a protein content of up to 30% and is particularly high in essential amino acids, especially lysine and tryptophan. Furthermore, in addition to being rich in [3-glucan, oat bran contains a significant amount of insoluble dietary fiber, which helps to promote intestinal peristalsis and to excrete toxins from the body.
[0005] Although oats and oat bran provide many benefits to the human body, the intestinal tract has low utilization of unprocessed oats, so it cannot improve and regulate the intestinal tract, and oat bran is rarely used in food products due to its rough texture and poor taste. As such, existing oat products can be improved in terms of taste, flavor and nutritional content to meet the needs of the public.

[0016] The present disclosure will be described in further detail below so that those skilled in the art to which the present disclosure belongs can easily put the present disclosure into practice. It should be understood, however, that the present disclosure may be embodied in various forms and is not limited to the specific embodiments described herein, and that the embodiments of the present disclosure are merely illustrations.
[0017] Oats and oat bran are rich in [3-glucans, amino acids, phytonutrients, etc., which can be absorbed and utilized by human body to help regulate human physiological health. Thousands of phytonutrients have been identified and isolated from oats and oat bran, including chlorogenic acid, ferulic acid, vanillic acid, erucic acid, quercetin, isoflavones, curcumin, indole-3- acetic acid, linoleic acid, geranic acid, catechol, etc.
[0018] As the main soluble dietary fiber of oats, [3-glucan plays an important role in an organism. It can regulate blood sugar, blood lipids, soften blood vessels,
prevent high blood pressure, enhance immunity, prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, ameliorate or inhibit skin allergies, improve the control of weight etc.
[0019] Chlorogenic acid is a phenylpropanoid polyphenolic compound and, as an important biologically active substance, it has antibacterial, antiviral and free radical scavenging effects.
[0020] Vanillic acid is a phenolic acid compound produced by plant secondary metabolism, which has various pharmacological activities such as anti-oxidation, anti-inflammation and anti-apoptosis. In addition, vanillic acid has good anti-platelet aggregation effect and plays an important role in the prevention and treatment of thrombotic diseases.
[0021] Erucic acid, also known as sinapine, has been found in recent years to have biological activities, such as scavenging free radicals, inhibiting lipid peroxidation, antibacterial, anticancer and anti-inflammatory, anti-anxiety, and improving memory.
[0022] Quercetin is widely distributed in the plant kingdom and is a flavonol compound with various biological activities. Quercetin has various biological activities such as anti-oxidation, dilation of blood vessels, and anti-tumor efficacy. [0023] By using at least partially hydrolyzed oats and oat bran as substrates for fermentation in the methods to prepare the oat fermentation product according to the present disclosure, the resulting oat fermentation product can provide a source of abundant active ingredients such as monosaccharides, amino acids, [3-glucans, and other phytonutrients. Further, according to the described methods, it has been found that when the ferment includes specific strains, the active ingredients contained in the fermentation substrate can be thoroughly dissolved out, so that they can be easily absorbed and utilized when administered to a mammal, i.e., a human. To this end, it has been found that the use of a ferment that includes the specific strains such as Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus plantarum, Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus provides the resulting
oat fermentation product that is organoleptically pleasing with an appropriate acidity, fragrance, glutinous texture, and delicious mouthfeel and taste.
[0024] In a first aspect, the present disclosure provides an oat fermentation product obtained by fermenting a fermentation solution that includes a fermentation substrate and a ferment, wherein the fermentation substrate includes at least partially hydrolyzed oats and oat bran.
[0025] The oat used in the present disclosure may be the hulled grain of Avena sativa L. Hulled oats are composed of 3 main components: oat bran, oat endosperm and oat germ. Oat bran is the multilayered skin of grain seeds, including the outer pericarp, seed coat, aleurone layer and subaleurone layer. Oats and oat bran mainly contain starch, protein, fat, dietary fiber, [3-glucan and sugar.
[0026] The at least partially hydrolyzed oats of the present disclosure maintain their standard properties as whole grains after hydrolysis. “Whole grain” or “standard properties of whole grains” means that oats “consist of whole, milled-crushed, or flaked caryopses, all of the major anatomical components - starchy endosperm, germ and bran are present in the same relative proportions in the intact caryopsis, and should be considered whole grain foods”. Herein, the partial hydrolysis of the oats will not lead to undesired hydrolysis of oat components, so that the at least partially hydrolyzed oats can maintain desired properties (e.g., organoleptic properties, health-related properties, whole grain status, fermented whole grain state or a combination thereof).
[0027] In one embodiment, the at least partially hydrolyzed oats may be obtained by enzymatic hydrolysis. The method of hydrolysis can be as described in Chinese patent applications with publication Nos. CN105142423A, CN109152397A or CN110621167A, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. In one embodiment, the oats are not hydrolyzed to such an extent that non-starch molecules such as sugars are present. In one embodiment, enzymes that can hydrolyze oats include, but are not limited to, a-amylase, pectinase, cellulase, and combinations thereof. The oats are enzymatically hydrolyzed to reduce the molecular weight of macromolecular substances such as starch and fiber and maintain the
whole grain characteristics of oat. In one embodiment, hydrolyzing the oats may include hydrolyzing starch, fiber, protein, or combinations thereof contained in the oats. In one embodiment, the duration of the hydrolysis is sufficient to reduce the average molecular weight of the starch in oats to about 0.07% to about 95%, 1% to about 95%, 6% to about 95%, 0.07% to about 75%, 1% to about 75%, or 6% to about 75% of the average molecular weight of unhydrolyzed oats. In one embodiment, the hydrolysis of the oats avoids hydrolyzing starch in unhydrolyzed oats into non-starch components. For example, a-amylase may be used to hydrolyze the starch in oats and make no more than, for example, 5 wt%, 4 wt%, 3 wt%, 2 wt%, 1 wt %, 0.9 wt%, 0.8 wt%, 0.7 wt%, 0.6 wt%, 0.5 wt %, 0.4 wt %, 0.3 wt %, 0.2 wt%, 0.1 wt% of the starch in oats into sugar. Hydrolysis of oats may be stopped by inactivating the enzymes using any suitable means such as by with heat.
[0028] In one embodiment, the oat fermentation product contains starch, protein, fat, and [3-glucan. In one embodiment, the mass ratio of starch to protein in the oat fermentation product is 1.30-0.70 times, 1.25-0.75 times, 1.20-0.80 times, 1.15-0.85 times, 1 .10-0.90 times, 1 .05-0.95 times that of unprocessed oats and oat bran. In one embodiment, the mass ratio of fat to protein in the oat fermentation product is 1 .30-0.70 times, 1 .25-0.75 times, 1 .20-0.80 times, 1 .15-0.85 times, 1 .10-0.90 times, 1 .05-0.95 times that of unprocessed oats and oat bran. In one embodiment, the mass ratio of [3-glucan to protein in the oat fermentation product is 1 .30-0.70 times, 1 .25-0.75 times, 1 .20-0.80 times, 1 .15-0.85 times, 1 .10-0.90 times, 1 .05-0.95 times that of unprocessed oats and oat bran.
[0029] In one embodiment, the oat bran may be oat bran that has been heated to be ripened. In one embodiment, the oat bran may be oat bran treated with vapour at high temperature. In one embodiment, the oat bran may be cooked at a temperature above about 95 °C for about 90 to about 120 minutes, for example, cooked at about 96 °C for about 95 to about 115 minutes, cooked at about 97 °C for about 100 to 110 minutes, cooked at about 98 °C for about 102 to about 108 minutes, cooked at about 99 °C for about 104 to about 106 minutes, or cooked at about 100 °C for about 105
minutes. The ripened fermented oat bran may facilitate the consumption of the product.
[0030] In one embodiment, the mass ratio of the at least partially hydrolyzed oats to the oat bran may be from about 100:1 to about 1 :6, for example, the mass ratio of the at least partially hydrolyzed oats to the oat bran may be about 90:1 to about 1 :6, about 80:1 to about 1 :6, about 70:1 to about 1 :6, about 60:1 to about 1 :6, about 50:1 to about 1 :6, about 40:1 to about 1 :6, about 30:1 to about 1 :6, about 20:1 to about 1 :6, about 10:1 to about 1 :6, about 9:1 to about 1 :6, about 8:1 to about 1 :6, about 7:1 to about 1 :6, about 6:1 to about 1 :6, about 5:1 to about 1 :6, about 4:1 to about 1 :6, about 3:1 to about 1 :6; or the mass ratio of the at least partially hydrolyzed oats to the oat bran may be about 100:1 to about 1 :5, about 100:1 to about 1 :4, about 100:1 to about 1 :3; or the mass ratio of the at least partially hydrolyzed oats to the oat bran may be about 50:1 to about 1 :5.5, about 40:1 to about 1 :5, about 30:1 to about 1 :4.5, about 20:1 to about 1 :4, about 10:1 to about 1 :3.5, about 5:1 to about 1 :3. In one embodiment, the mass ratio of the at least partially hydrolyzed oats to the oat bran may be from about 3:1 to about 1 :3. When the mass ratio of the at least partially hydrolyzed oats to the oat bran is greater than 100:1 , the active ingredients released by the fermented substances after entering the intestinal tract are not rich enough to meet nutritional requirements. When the mass ratio of the at least partially hydrolyzed oats to the oat bran is less than 1 :6, the fermentation substrate formed by this combination may cause the fermentation solution to be too viscous, which is unfavorable for the growth of strains in the fermentation substrate.
[0031] In one embodiment, the amino acid content of the oat fermentation product is increased by more than about 7.3% compared to a control containing the same fermentation substrate but not fermented with a ferment according to the described method.

When the concentration of the fermentation substrate in the fermentation solution exceeds 35 wt%, the fermentation solution is too viscous, which is not conducive to the growth of the strain. When the concentration of the fermentation substrate in the fermentation solution is lower than 5 wt%, there will not be a sufficient amount of the fermentation substrate to obtain enough active ingredients.
[0008] In one embodiment, the ferment may further contain sugars as a carbon source for the growth of the strains. The sugar may be any of the various sugars that may be utilized by the strains in the ferment, for example, they may include one or
more of glucose, sucrose, lactose, maltose, fructose and the like. In one embodiment, the sugar may be selected from glucose, maltose, lactose, sucrose or combinations thereof.

[0010] In one embodiment, the fermentation of the at least partially hydrolyzed oats and oat bran with the ferment may occur for a period of time of about 8 to about 48 hours, for example, about 9 to about 45 hours, about 10 to about 40 hours, about 11 to about 35 hours, about 12 to about 30 hours, about 13 to about 28 hours, about 14 to about 26 hours, about 15 to about 25 hours, about 16 to about 24 hours. The fermentation time of the at least partially hydrolyzed oats and oat bran of the present disclosure may vary according to actual conditions, but when the fermentation time is less than 8 hours, the product prepared from the oat fermentation product may not taste good due to the fact that the bacterial strain has not grown sufficiently and
released metabolites. When the fermentation time exceeds 12 hours, the active ingredients in oats and oat bran will gradually separate out. When the fermentation time exceeds 24 hours, the taste will gradually deteriorate due to the dead strains during the reproduction of strain. When the fermentation time exceeds 48 hours, the taste becomes unacceptable due to too many dead strains.
[0011] In one embodiment, the at least partially hydrolyzed oats may be in a form of a powder, granule, flake, semi-solid, paste or other form. In one embodiment, the oat bran may be in a form of a powder, granule, flake, semi-solid, paste or other form.

[0013] The second aspect of the present disclosure provides an oat product for enhancing gut health, wherein the oat product is prepared from the oat fermentation product of the first aspect of the present disclosure.
[0014] In one embodiment, the oat fermentation product of the first aspect of the present disclosure may be dehydrated (e.g., vacuum dehydrated, heat-dried, etc.) to provide an oat fermentation product powder, which is then added to at least one food ingredient to provide food products (e.g., solid food, liquid food, semi-solid/semi- liquid food, spoonable products, food bars, yogurt, soup, beverages, etc.). In one embodiment, at least one food ingredient may be selected from sweeteners, flavorings (e.g., herbs), vegetable juices, fruit juices, and combinations thereof. The powder may include live cultures and/or live microorganisms (e.g., live microorganisms having probiotic properties, such as the ferment mentioned in the first aspect of the present disclosure). In other embodiments, the oat fermentation product of the first aspect of the present disclosure may be subjected to additional
processing, such as centrifugation and supernatant extract, dilution, concentration, etc., and then combined with other ingredients to prepare food or other materials. [0015] In one embodiment, the oat product is selected from a beverage, an instant drink, a solid instant food, a solid non-instant food or a semi-solid food. For example, the oat fermentation product may be solid particles and may be directly consumed. The oat fermentation product may also be a solid non-instant food, which may require slight heating before it can be consumed. The oat fermentation product may be a flake solid and, after adding warm water, it may become a paste or a solution, which is convenient to consume.
[0016] The features of the oat product of the second aspect of the present disclosure are basically the same as those of the oat fermentation product of the first aspect of the present disclosure in other respects, and thus will not be repeated here.
[0017] In the third aspect, the present disclosure provides a method for preparing an oat fermentation product. The method may include providing at least partially hydrolyzed oats and an oat bran; mixing the at least partially hydrolyzed oat and the oat bran to form a fermentation substrate; adding a ferment to the fermentation substrate to form a fermentation solution; and fermenting the fermentation solution to form the oat fermentation product.
[0018] In one embodiment, the providing at least partially hydrolyzed oats and oat bran may include obtaining the at least partially hydrolyzed oats by enzymatic hydrolysis. In one embodiment, enzymes that can hydrolyze oats include, but are not limited to, a-amylase, pectinase, cellulase, and combinations thereof. The oats are enzymatically and partially hydrolyzed to reduce the molecular weight of macromolecular substances such as starch and fiber and maintain the whole grain characteristics of oat. The method of partial hydrolysis may be as described in Chinese patent applications with publication Nos. CN105142423A, CN109152397A or CN110621167A, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. In one embodiment, the oats are not hydrolyzed to such an extent that non-starch molecules such as sugars are present.
[0019] In one embodiment, the providing at least partially hydrolyzed oats and oat bran may include heating the oat bran to ripen it. In one embodiment, the oat bran may be treated with vapour at high temperature. In one embodiment, the oat bran may be cooked at a temperature above about 95 °C for about 90 to about 120 minutes, for example, cooked at about 96 °C for about 95 to about 115 minutes, cooked at about 97 °C for about 100 to 110 minutes, cooked at about 98 °C for about 102 to about 108 minutes, cooked at about 99 °C for about 104 to about 106 minutes, or cooked at about 100 °C for about 105 minutes. The ripened fermented oat bran may facilitate the consumption of the product.
[0020] In one embodiment, the providing at least partially hydrolyzed oats and oat bran may include providing the at least partially hydrolyzed oats and the oat bran in a mass ratio of about 100:1 to about 1 :6, for example, the mass ratio of the at least partially hydrolyzed oats to the oat bran may be about 90:1 to about 1 :6, about 80:1 to about 1 :6, about 70:1 to about 1 :6, about 60:1 to about 1 :6, about 50:1 to about 1 :6, about 40:1 to about 1 :6, about 30:1 to about 1 :6, about 20:1 to about 1 :6, about 10:1 to about 1 :6, about 9:1 to about 1 :6, about 8:1 to about 1 :6, about 7:1 to about 1 :6, about 6:1 to about 1 :6, about 5:1 to about 1 :6, about 4:1 to about 1 :6, about 3:1 to about 1 :6; or the mass ratio of the at least partially hydrolyzed oats to the oat bran may be about 100:1 to about 1 :5, about 100:1 to about 1 :4, about 100:1 to about 1 :3; or the mass ratio of the at least partially hydrolyzed oats to the oat bran may be about 50:1 to about 1 :5.5, about 40:1 to about 1 :5, about 30:1 to about 1 :4.5, about 20:1 to about 1 :4, about 10:1 to about 1 :3.5, about 5:1 to about 1 :3. In one embodiment, the mass ratio of the at least partially hydrolyzed oats to the oat bran may be from about 3:1 to about 1 :3. When the mass ratio of the at least partially hydrolyzed oats to the oat bran is greater than 100:1 , the active ingredients released by the fermented substances after entering the intestinal tract are not sufficient enough to meet nutritional requirements. When the mass ratio of the at least partially hydrolyzed oats to the oat bran is less than 1 :6, the fermentation substrate formed by this combination may cause the fermentation solution to be too viscous, which is unfavorable for the growth of strains in the fermentation substrate, and in addition,
the final product may have an undesirably rough taste due to the too high fiber content.

When the concentration of the fermentation substrate in the fermentation solution exceeds 35 wt%, the fermentation solution is too viscous, which is not conducive to the growth of the strain. When the concentration of the fermentation substrate in the fermentation solution is lower than 5 wt%, the fermentation substrate is not sufficient to obtain enough active ingredients.
[0027] In one embodiment, the method may further include adding one or more sugars as a carbon source for the growth of strains prior to fermentation. The sugar may be various sugars that may be utilized by the strains in the ferment, for example, glucose, sucrose, lactose, maltose, fructose and the like. In one
embodiment, the sugar is selected from glucose, maltose, lactose, sucrose or combinations thereof. In one embodiment, the sugar is lactose. In one embodiment, the content of the sugar in the fermentation solution may be adjusted according to the added strains, and based on the total weight of the fermentation solution, the sugar may be present in an amount of about 0.5 wt% to about 3 wt%, such as about 0.6 wt% to about 2.9 wt%, about 0.7 wt% to about 2.8 wt%, about 0.8 wt% to about 2.7 wt%, about 0.9 wt% to about 2.6 wt%, about 1 .0 wt% to about 2.5 wt%, about 1 .1 wt% to about 2.4 wt%, about 1 .2 wt% to about 2.3 wt%, about 1 .3 wt% to about 2.2 wt%, about 1 .4 wt% to about 2.1 wt% or about 1 .5 wt% to about 2.0 wt%.

[0029] In one embodiment, the fermenting the fermentation solution may include fermenting the at least partially hydrolyzed oats and oat bran with a ferment for about 8 to about 48 hours, for example, about 9 to about 45 hours, about 10 to about 40 hours, about 11 to about 35 hours, about 12 to about 30 hours, about 13 to about 28 hours, about 14 to about 26 hours, about 15 to about 25 hours, about 16 to about 24 hours. The fermentation time of the at least partially hydrolyzed oats and oat bran of the present disclosure may vary according to actual conditions, but when the fermentation time is less than 8 hours, the product prepared from the oat fermentation product may not taste good due to the fact that the bacterial strain has not grown sufficiently and released metabolites. When the fermentation time
exceeds 12 hours, the active ingredients in oats and oat bran will gradually separate out. When the fermentation time exceeds 24 hours, the taste will gradually deteriorate during the reproduction of strain. When the fermentation time exceeds 48 hours, the taste becomes unacceptable due to too many dead strains.
[0030] In one embodiment, the providing of the at least partially hydrolyzed oats and oat bran may include providing at least partially hydrolyzed oats in a form of a powder, granule, flake, semi-solid, paste or other form. The providing of at least partially hydrolyzed oats and oat bran may include providing an oat bran in a form of a powder, granule, flake, semi-solid, paste or other form. In one embodiment, the providing of at least partially hydrolyzed oats and oat bran may include providing at least partially hydrolyzed oats and oat bran in a form of a powder, granule, flake. In one embodiment, the providing at least partially hydrolyzed oats and oat bran may include providing the at least partially hydrolyzed oats and oat bran in a form of a powder.
