Pullulan Powder Top Quality

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. 

   Advantages:

• In the medical field
  Pullulan has good biocompatibility and biodegradability. It can serve as a carrier for drugs to achieve the slow release of drugs, thereby improving the effectiveness of drugs and reducing side effects.
  
  
• In the food field
  Pullulan  has multiple advantages. It is easily soluble in water with a fast dissolution rate. The solution is neutral, non-ionized, non-gelatinized, and non-crystalline. Its aqueous solution has a low viscosity and is not easily affected by the pH value or various salts. It can maintain a stable viscosity in the presence of salt. Pullulan has strong film-forming properties and can form a tough film on the surface of food, which has the characteristics of gas barrier, aroma retention, oil resistance, electrical insulation, etc. In addition, pullulan is hardly decomposed within a few hours under the action of animal digestive enzymes, and it can be used to manufacture special low-calorie foods and beverages.
  
  
• In the cosmetics field
  Pullulan  has the advantages of being safe, non-toxic, highly adhesive, having good moisture retention, and strong antioxidant properties. It can form a breathable and long-lasting film on the skin surface, locking in the skin's moisture and promoting the penetration and absorption of nutrients. The cost of pullulan  is relatively low, and its effect is similar to that of hyaluronic acid. Moreover, the solution is stable for a long time and is not easily affected by the pH value or various salts.
