Pullulan is a natural, water soluble polysaccharide with excellent film-forming and binding properties and is produced from starch syrup by fermentation. Pullulan consists of maltotriose (three glucose molecules linked by α-1,4 bonds) units linked through α-1,6-glucosidic bonds.

Pullulan’s functional diversity makes it suitable for a variety of applications in the field of foods, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. In addition, Pullulan can be used for food contact and packaging applications as well as for coatings. With its film-forming properties, Pullulan is a valuable carrier for nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals and other oxygen sensitive materials.
