Isabgol (psyllium husk) and guar gum testing
We test psyllium husk, psyllium powder and guar gum for purity, swelling and viscosity, microbiology, pesticide residues and contaminants, supporting exporters in Gujarat and Rajasthan.
Psyllium and guar gum testing
What is isabgol and guar gum testing?
Isabgol and guar gum testing is the laboratory analysis of psyllium husk and guar gum for purity, physical properties such as swelling and viscosity, microbiology and contaminants, to show they meet buyer, pharmacopoeia and export requirements.
India is the world's leading producer of psyllium (isabgol), with Gujarat a major growing and processing centre, and guar gum is processed across Gujarat and Rajasthan for food, pharmaceutical and industrial use. Both are exported widely and buyers set strict purity and safety specifications.
Accurate Universal Laboratories Pvt. Ltd. tests psyllium seed, husk and powder and guar gum for quality, microbiology, pesticide residues and contaminants such as ethylene oxide and pentachlorophenol.
Shipping psyllium or guar soon?
Test before the container is sealed, not after a rejection at the port.
Why testing matters
Purity and safety drive the price
Psyllium and guar gum are sold on purity and functional quality, and buyers in food and pharmaceutical markets reject lots with high microbial counts or contaminants.
Testing parameters
Isabgol and guar gum tests
These are the tests buyers most often specify for psyllium and guar gum.
- Psylliumhusk & powder
- Guarsplit & powder
- Exportspecifications
| Test | Why it is needed |
|---|---|
| Purity and extraneous matter | Light and heavy extraneous matter determine husk grade |
| Swelling volume | Key functional quality of psyllium |
| Viscosity | Key functional quality and grade of guar gum |
| Moisture, ash and acid-insoluble ash | Quality and adulteration indicators |
| Microbiology | TPC, yeast and mould, E. coli and Salmonella for food and pharma use |
| Pesticide residues | Residue limits in export markets |
| Ethylene oxide | Fumigant residues have caused EU recalls |
| Pentachlorophenol (PCP) | EU requires analysis for PCP in guar gum from India |

FAQs
Isabgol & Guar Gum Testing: common questions
Which tests do isabgol buyers ask for?
Most buyers ask for purity and extraneous matter, swelling volume, moisture and ash, microbiology including Salmonella and E. coli, and pesticide residues. Some also require ethylene oxide testing.
Do you test guar gum viscosity?
Yes. Viscosity is the key functional property of guar gum and is tested along with moisture, microbiology and contaminants.
Why is guar gum tested for pentachlorophenol?
After contamination was found in guar gum from India in 2007, the EU introduced special import conditions requiring analytical reports for pentachlorophenol (PCP) and dioxins. Tell us your buyer's requirement and we will confirm the tests.
Can you test psyllium as per pharmacopoeia methods?
Tell us the pharmacopoeia or buyer specification you need and we will confirm which parameters and methods we can provide.
How much does isabgol or guar gum testing cost?
The cost depends on the tests required. Share your product and buyer specification and we will send an itemised quotation.
Is Accurate Universal Laboratories accredited for this testing?
Yes. Our Ahmedabad laboratory is accredited by NABL to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 (certificate TC-5021) and our Rajkot laboratory under certificate TC-7988. The tests and products covered are listed in our scope of accreditation, and we confirm whether your parameters are within scope before testing.
