Food additive powder Pullulan polysaccharide pullulan
Product Description
Pullulan(E1204) is natural water-soluble
polysaccharide, fermented by Auveobasidium Pullulans. It consists mainly of maltotriose units linked through α-1, 6 - glucosidic
bonds. The average molecular weight is 2×105 Da.
Pullulan can be developed into various products. It is an excellent film-former,
producing a film which is heat sealable with good oxygen barrier properties. It can be used widely in both the health food &
cosmetic industries, such as encapsulating agents, adhesives, thickening, and extending agent.
Pullulan is a kind of nature water-soluble polysaccharide. Pullulan can be processed into many kinds of products. It is with good film-forming property, and the formed pullulan film is very stable; it is also with extremely good oxygen isolation performance, so that in food industry, it is widely used in capsule binder, thickening agent, adhesive, food package and others. In Japan, taking as a kind of dietary supplements, Pullulan has 20 years of application history and has passed the American GRAS certification.
Pullulan can effectively protect the contents from oxidation and prolong storage period; Its transparency corresponds to animal capsule, so that the filled contents are clearly visible; It doesn't contain animal protein and fat, so that it is hard to breed microorganism and with stable quality; it doesn't contain animal ingredients, and is free of worries for bovine spongiform encephalopathy, foot-and-mouth disease and other zoonoses; It is made by nature vegetal materials so that it is with no limit in religion or vegetarian diet.
