Product Description
Introduction to Pullulan
Pullulan is a polysaccharide produced by fermentation of yeast (such as Aspergillus niger) and is a soluble dietary fiber. It is a linear polysaccharide composed of glucose units linked by α-1,6 glycosidic bonds and has unique physical and chemical properties.
Main features
1. Water Solubility: Pullulan is easily soluble in water, forming a transparent colloidal solution.
2. Low Calorie: As a dietary fiber, pullulan has low calories and is suitable for weight loss and healthy diet.
3. Good film-forming properties: Pullulan can form films and is often used for coating food and pharmaceuticals.
Notes
Pullulan is generally considered safe, but individual differences still need to be noted when using it, especially for people who are allergic to certain ingredients.
