Psyllium Husk Powder Wholesale Supplier India: 85%, 95%, 98% Grade Guide
Product.
Grade and mesh selection for supplement and functional food manufacturers sourcing psyllium husk powder in bulk from Gujarat, India.
Psyllium husk powder is milled from whole psyllium husk (Plantago ovata seed coat) to a specified mesh fineness. Unlike whole husk — which retains fibrous structure — powder disperses uniformly in aqueous matrices, making it the preferred format for drink mixes, functional food premixes, and certain supplement dosage forms. Powder grade (purity percentage) determines mucilage content and swell volume; mesh determines particle size and dispersion speed.
RM Psyllium supplies psyllium husk powder in three purity grades from our Siddhpur, Gujarat facility: 85%, 95%, and 98%. All grades are available in multiple mesh specifications and supplied with full COA from an NABL-accredited laboratory. MOQ starts from 100 kg for initial orders; container-load supply (18–20 MT) is available with 10–15 day production lead time.
Grade Comparison: 85%, 95%, 98%
Purity grade in psyllium powder refers to husk content — higher purity means higher mucilage concentration and swell volume. The choice of grade depends on the regulatory requirements of the destination market and the functional performance needed in the formulation.
| Grade | Purity | Swell Volume | Typical Mesh | Application |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 85% | ≥ 85% | ≥ 20 mL/g | 60–80 mesh | Cost-sensitive food fiber, animal feed supplement |
| 95% | ≥ 95% | ≥ 30 mL/g | 60–100 mesh | Nutraceutical blends, functional food fortification |
| 98% | ≥ 98% | ≥ 40 mL/g | 80–200 mesh | Supplement capsules, drink mixes, gluten-free baking |
Mesh Selection for Supplement Manufacturing
Mesh number (ASTM standard) indicates particle fineness. For capsule filling (dosator or tamping), 60–80 mesh powder provides good flow and consistent fill weight. For drink-mix formats requiring rapid hydration, 100–200 mesh is standard — finer particles disperse faster and reduce clumping. For functional food applications (bakery, cereals, fiber bars), 80–100 mesh provides adequate water binding without textural issues. We supply standard mesh cuts at 40, 60, 80, 100, and 200 mesh; non-standard cuts are available subject to minimum volumes.
MOQ and Packaging Options
Psyllium husk powder is supplied in 25 kg HDPE-lined paper bags, 50 kg HDPE-lined bags, and 500 kg FIBC jumbo bags. For moisture-sensitive applications (capsule filling), heat-sealed inner HDPE liner with desiccant insert is available on request. Sample quantities (100–500 g with COA) are dispatched from Siddhpur within 3–5 business days.
