Psyllium Husk Powder

Psyllium husk powder is the milled seed husk of Plantago ovata, supplied by Nustras as a fine off-white powder and used as a soluble dietary-fibre ingredient for supplements, functional foods and bakery. The husk consists largely of a mucilaginous arabinoxylan polysaccharide that swells and forms a gel on contact with water.

It is formulated into fibre supplements in capsule, powder and sachet form, into fibre blends and drink mixes, into functional foods and beverages, into gluten-free bakery and cereal products where it also acts as a binder and water-retention agent, and into animal-nutrition products.

The material is a fine off-white powder. Dietary-fibre content is standardised to specification at not less than 85 %, and swell volume, loss on drying, ash and particle size are standardised to specification; identity is confirmed by botanical and microscopic examination, and heavy-metal and microbial limits are supplied to specification and confirmed on each lot's certificate of analysis. The material is of Chinese origin.

Nustras supplies psyllium husk powder in bulk commercial quantities, in food-grade bags and fibre drums, to manufacturers and formulators internationally, with a certificate of analysis, specification sheet and country-of-origin documentation on every lot. Psyllium husk is an accepted food and supplement ingredient in major markets; buyers confirm the permitted level, labelling and claim for their application.
