Tirlán unveils liquid oat base made from oat concentrate

Irish dairy company Tirlán has expanded its oat portfolio to include Oat-Standing Gluten Free Liquid Oat Base.

The new liquid oat base can help manufacturers meet the demand for gluten-free, natural and functional oat products.

According to Tirlán, Oat-Standing Gluten Free Liquid Oat Base is an oat concentrate that solves the “common challenge” of grittiness found in standard plant-based options. The company says it can be easily incorporated into a variety of beverages and dairy alternative applications.

The base uses oats grown on Irish family farms through Tirlán’s ‘strict’ closed-loop supply chain called OatSecure.

Yvonne Bellanti, category manager at Tirlán, said: “Our range of Oat-Standing Oat Ingredients is continuously expanding, and we are delighted to extend the range from flakes and flours to include our new Liquid Oat Base. Flavour and texture are key consumer motivators for our customers to consider while developing new products.”

She continued: “Our Liquid Oat Base helps our customers to deliver a sweet sensory experience and a smooth mouth feel in the end product”.

The base is said to be especially useful in dairy alternative applications such as oat beverages.
