Psyllium gum

Description:

Psyllium gum, identified by the CAS number 8063-16-9, is a natural polysaccharide derived from the seeds of the Plantago ovata plant, commonly known as psyllium. It is primarily composed of soluble fiber, which makes it highly effective as a bulking agent in dietary supplements and food products. Psyllium gum is known for its ability to absorb water and form a gel-like consistency, which aids in digestion and promotes regular bowel movements. This property also makes it useful in gluten-free baking as a binding agent. Additionally, psyllium gum has applications in the pharmaceutical industry, where it is used as an excipient in drug formulations. It is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by regulatory authorities when consumed in appropriate amounts. Psyllium gum is also low in calories and has minimal impact on blood sugar levels, making it a popular choice for those seeking to manage weight or improve digestive health. Its high viscosity and gel-forming capabilities contribute to its effectiveness in various applications.

Psyllium seed gum

CAS: 8063-16-9

Psyllium seed gum comes from plants of the Plantago genus and is cultivated mainly in the Mediterranian and in India. Psyllium has been used for many years medical applications and more recently there has been a resurgency of interest because it has been seen as a soluble dietary fibre. The proposed structure is of a backbone of D-xylopyranosyl units linked (1,4) and (1,3) with the 4-linked units bearing side chains. The side chains consist of α-L-arabinofuranosyl units linked (1,3) and (1,2) and β-D-xylopyranosyl units linked (1,3) and (1,2) and the α-D-GalAρ-(1,2)-α-L-Rhaρ aldobiuronic acid units linked (1,2) to the main chain.
