Fat contents showed no significant difference (p > 0.05) among
all samples and the fat contents in noodles without oat b-glucan
(conG and 30BFG) were lower than those in the noodles with
added oat b-glucan (conN and 30BFN). This was due to the lower
fat content in BF (0.3–0.8%, Mota et al., 2000) compared to wheat
flour (2%, Niihara, Yonezawa, & Matsuo, 1996). Moreover, fat content
was decreased with formation of an amylose–lipid complex
resulting from the heat treatment in BF production
