Abstract
Oats are healthy and nutritious cereals. They are characterized by a high content of vitamins, minerals and soluble fibers, as well as of macronutrients. Recent evidences show that oat based foods are also suitable for the diet of people suffering celiac disease. These nutritional properties make oats an important part of a balanced diet and determine a constantly growing demand for diverse oat products. For this reason, oats and other traditional and novel crops, such as hemp seeds, are the basis for sustainable alternatives to milk and dairy products. Oat by-products can be chemically processed to obtain renewable and sustainable chemicals for industry. © 2023 Elsevier Inc.
