Psyllium Husk (85%) is an industrial-grade form of natural fiber obtained from the outer husk of Plantago ovata seeds. This grade offers a cost-effective solution for industries that require the functional benefits of Psyllium fiber without needing pharmaceutical or food-grade purity. With a fiber concentration of approximately 85%, it still maintains adequate swelling and binding properties suitable for large-scale manufacturing.
This grade of Psyllium Husk is widely used in the animal feed, agriculture, herbal powder blends, and bulk food processing industries. Although not as refined as higher grades (such as 95%, 98%, or 99%), it retains enough mucilage to provide bulk-forming laxative effects and water absorption capabilities. It’s also suitable for blending with other raw materials to create dietary fiber formulations or binding agents.
Psyllium Husk (85%) is ideal for use in applications where color, texture, and maximum swelling volume are not the primary concern but functional fiber content is still required. This grade is also utilized in natural soil conditioners and seed-coating formulations due to its ability to retain moisture and promote aeration.
Processed in an industrial setup, Psyllium Husk (85%) undergoes basic cleaning, sieving, and inspection to meet safety and functional expectations. While it may contain slightly more plant fragments or color variation than higher grades, it delivers solid performance at a significantly reduced cost.
