Positive effects of oats on human health
Consumption of fruits, vegetables and cereals is a basic precondition for diverse and nutritionally balanced diet. Whole grains are beneficial for human health and reduce the risk of developing chronic diseases and also contribute to maintaining normal body weight. Oat is a cereal that contains necessary macro- and micro- nutrients, a high proportion of β- glucan, as well as specific polyphenols with strong antioxidant activity. Although world production of oats is steadily falling, there is an increasing demand for oats and oat products. Health benefits of oats to human health have been proven by many researchers, so the EFSA (European Food Safety Authority) has approved four health claims related to oats that can be applied on food products. In addition, oats have been approved by the European Commission as a component of gluten-free foods under certain conditions. The Nordic countries have recognized the benefits of oatmeal diet, and are investing in increasing the share of oats in the diet by developing and promoting healthy Nordic nutrition. Functional foods based on oats are a great challenge and great potential in the food sector, but further efforts are needed in research, marketing and collaboration with health institutions regarding better acceptance of oat products by the consumers. The paper presents the current situation of world and domestic oat production, scientific research and legislative framework related to positive effect of oat to human health.
