Controlled-Particle Psyllium Powder

Controlled-mesh psyllium powder is selected by particle-size distribution for consistent handling, hydration and finished-product texture.

Why the full particle distribution matters

A mesh designation describes a sieve opening or test result. It does not, on its own, describe the proportions of coarse particles and fines in a powder. Two materials carrying the same nominal mesh can therefore need different preparation conditions.

Ask which sieve standard and method are used, together with the percentage retained or passing at the agreed sizes. Husk purity is a separate property and should be stated separately.

Matching powder to the application

In drinks, compare wetting, visible particles, dry-cored lumps and viscosity after mixing. In doughs, compare water demand, mixing consistency and texture after baking. Handling trials should include dust, flow and segregation in the intended blend.

Use the complete recipe for the final comparison. Results in plain water can help screen grades but will not capture every interaction with protein, minerals, starches or other fibres.

Information to share with Fybrance

Provide the current grade, particle specification, finished product and preparation method. Discuss the distribution, purity, bulk density, moisture and documentation needed for the proposed material.

If the main problem is drink-powder clumping, compare agglomerated and instantised psyllium alongside mesh selection.
