The subject of the present invention is a kit and a method for producing beta-glucan, insoluble food fibre as well as a preparation of oat proteins from bran, characterised in that is encompasses the addition of ethanol, acidification using HCl to precipitate the protein fraction, addition of NaOH solution, neutralisation, and addition of ethanol to precipitate beta-glucan. The present invention is useful in the food industry, particularly in the area of food supplements.
