Abstract: In this study, the hydroxyl radical scavenging capacity, super oxygen-anion free radicals scavenging capacity and LDL oxidation inhibition ability of oat β-glucan extract and phenolics extract were studied. Results showed that Oat β-glucan has no antioxidant activity. However, oat phenolics has significant antioxidant activity and antiatherogenic potential.

Key words: oat; &beta, -glucan; phenolics; radical scavenging; low density lipid oxidation(LDL);
