Pullulan is a water-soluble linear glucosic polysaccharide composed of maltotriose repeating units linked by α-1,6 glycosidic bonds. It forms clear, film-forming solutions and is used as a film former, stabilizer, thickener, and excipient across food, pharmaceutical, and industrial applications. This product is supplied as a high-purity powder characterized by a 10% solution viscosity of 15-180 mPa·s.
- Forms clear, film-forming aqueous solutions suitable for coatings and encapsulation.
- Provides viscosity control at low concentrations (10% solution viscosity 15-180 mPa·s).
- High purity suitable for formulation and laboratory use.
- Biocompatible and water soluble for easy processing and removal.
- Stable across a range of processing conditions and pH levels.
- Applications include food coatings, pharmaceutical excipients, and industrial binders.
