Psyllium husk is white fibrous material derived from psyllium seeds. It  is an effective product with varieties of uses in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and food products industries. Psyllium Husk consists of the epidermis and the collapsed adjacent layers removed from the dried ripe seeds of Plantago Ovata.

Psyllium husk contains huge amount of soluble and insoluble natural fibers responsible for it's laxative action.

Its nutritional value consists mainly of glycosides, proteins, polysaccharides, vitamin B1, and choline. Fiber content of over 80% compared to less than 15% for oat bran and 10% for wheat bran.

The husk is composed mostly of a fiber called hemicellulose which is a complex carbohydrate found in whole grains, fruits and vegetables.

Hemicellulose is un-digestible, however, it is partially broken down in the colon and feeds the friendly intestinal flora.

Psyllium husk powder is the pulverized form of husk. Its gradient depends on its sieve size. It is cooling, laxative, anti-diabetic, antichronic, soothing, etc.

• Mainly use in pharmaceutical formulations, lubricating laxative.

• Useful in the treatment of intestinal tract problems like constipation and other minor disorders.

• It is commercially used in Ice-creams as a substitute of sodium alginate as a stabilizer.

• Also used in fresh fruit drinks, Jam, Bread, Biscuits, Rice cakes, instant noodles, breakfast cereals, etc.

• Improves Softness and Texture, works as binder and stabilizer in pharmaceutical industry. 

• To avoid the stickiness in throat and mouth, some companies prepare capsules for regular consumption.

Psyllium is obtained from plantage ovate or Psyllium plant. Psyllium plant grows in the region which has good exposure to sunlight, and the soils are well drained and sandy. This is an annual crop cultivated largely in Gujarat and in some parts of Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh.

The Botanical name of Psyllium husk is Plantago Ovata, and it is better known as Isabgol in India.

Psyllium is mucilage having a combination of xylose, aucubin, galacturonic, arabinose, semi drying fatty oils.

Psyllium husk derived from bent layers are extracted from dried ripe seeds of plantago ovata frosk.

The Psyllium husks are thoroughly cleaned and sorted from anti farm fibers, mud, iron particles, dust, particles, stones and other waste products. They are then graded, taking their scientific values into account. Psyllium husks and powders are sorted with the help of these grades.

Psyllium consists of 80% water soluble fiber. Psyllium mucilage has a viscosity which is undeterred with 68 degrees F to 122 degrees F, by pH ranging from 2 to 10 and by sodium chloride up to 0.15 m.

Psylliums are used as horse feeds as they prevent the accumulation of sand or stones in animals without any side effects.


Psylliums are also used in pharmaceutical industries while manufacturing tablets as it acts as a thickening agent. They are also used in food processing industries like in ice creams, rice, jams, cakes, biscuits, breads and instant noodles.

The husk is composed mostly of a fiber called hemicellulose which is a complex carbohydrate found in whole grains, fruits and vegetables.


Hemicellulose is un-digestible, however, it is partially broken down in the colon and feeds the friendly intestinal flora.


Applications :

In Constipation:

It increases the passage to the bowel content through formation of bond water. Psyllium contains gel-forming fibers composed of micro-polysaccharides and cellulose.

This plant starch is hydrophilic in nature, hence they add moisture and bulk to stool in colon. The gel like starch softens the feces making hardened stool easier to eliminate without any kind of damage to bowel wall.

The mucilage forms a temporary gelatinous layer that protects intestinal walls from irritation caused by caustic material in the intestine,. Thus allowing the repair of adjoining tissues.

In Diarrhoea:

The mucilage contents forms bond with water and hence creates a surface of mucous membrane, forming a sticky masses, which are not easily distributed. Hence this avoids watery outlet during diarrhea and dysentery.

In Cholesterol Control:

The content has cellulose fiber, which is responsible for decreasing the absorption of cholesterol into the blood stream. They also add the filling of fullness without adding calories.

In Diabetes:

The fiber content reduces the release of dietary sugar from the digestive tract into the blood stream, thus assisting in the stabilization of blood sugar level.

In Colon Cancer:

Insoluble fiber content dilutes cancer-causing bile acids or moves feces out of the colon more quickly, hence it reduces contact-time of feces in digestive system reducing chances of producing carcinogens (cancer-causing substance).

Ethnobotanical/Traditional Uses :

It has also been used in traditional herbal systems of India and China to treat diarrhea, hemorrhoids, bladder problems, Diverticular diseases, Urinary disorder, Coronary heart diseases and high blood pressure.

Psyllium was also used topically to treat skin irritations, including poison ivy reactions and insect bits and stings.

When psylllium seeds are processed to make psyllium husk, the extraneous material left is termed as psyllium kha-kha powder i. E. Psyllium industrial dust. It is byproduct of psyllium husk.


Psyllium kha-kha powder can be used for the construction of pathway, courts, car parks, cycle paths, schoolyards and all other path surfacing used in garden design and application.


Applications:

• Mainly use to prevent landscaping, soil erosion.
• Used as animal feed.
