Product Description:
Pullulan is a linear homopolysaccharide of glucose, which is produced as a water-soluble, extracellular polysaccharide by certain strains of the polymorphic fungus Aureobasidium pullulans (De Bary) Arnaud.
Pullulan has adhesive properties and can be used to form fibers, compression moldings, and strong, oxygen-impermeable films. In food industry, pullulan films can be employed as coating or packaging materials of dried foods, as a binder for tobacco, seed coatings and plant fertilizers, as low viscosity filler in beverages and sauces, as binder and stabilizer in food pastes, to inhibit fungal growth in foods. In pharmaceutical industry, pullulan can be used as a denture adhesive, in the sugar coated pharmaceutical compositions to prevent brownish color change of the composition. Pullulan can also be used in cosmetics, lotions, and shampoos.
Product Usage:
Pullulan is used as a filler and adhesive forming agent in pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry; also a quality improver and thickener in food industry. Pullulan is used for water-soluble packaging material for preventing oxidation.
Product Features:
Pullulan is low calorific value, low digestibility and absorbability; Heat resistance, salt resistance, acid and alkali resistance, good thermal stability; Strong plasticity, lubricity, adhesion and adhesion; Excellent laminating and film forming properties with strong air isolation. It can improve the physical properties and keep moisture, also activate the Bifidobacterium reproduction and alleviate the constipation symptom.
Pullulan is a natural plant origin polysaccharide without any genetically modified ingredient. It will not cause any biological toxicity and unusual condition. It meets the international requirement of Muslim, Judaism and Vegetarian and can be used safely for food and medicines.
Our Pullulan uses pressure filtration and ultra filtration to replace the current solvent precipitation method, which solves the problem of solvent residue in the product. It is produced by spray drying, making Pullulan more soluble.
As a Pullulan supplier and Pullulan exporter, we regularly export it to Belgium, Netherland and Poland.
