Description

Pullulan, a kind of water soluble nature polysaccharide, is fermented from sucrose. The product is stable at room temperature. It is white powder, tasteless and no odor. The main content of pullulan is maltotriose and it is linked by key α*1and keyα*6.

Thickening Agent The high binding property of Pullulan makes it a valuable ingredient for compound flavoring and juice. As a new bio-material, it is widely used in packing industry of Pharmaceutical Non-animal Capsule Pullulan, the biodegradation of microorganism, is completely natural. We give a new name to capsules which produced by Pullulan “Non-animal Capsule”. Non-animal capsules are stable and impermeable to the oxygen transmission. It is expected that non-animal capsule have a bright marketing. Tablet coating Adhesive property makes Pullulan the ideal ingredient to tablet coating. Pullulan can significantly increase the strength and resilience of coatings, enhance the stability and reduce damage in transport and distribution. Slow-release formulation Microcapsules which encapsulated Pullulan can dissolve in the predeterm
