Pullulan is a food-grade natural, water-soluble polysaccharide produced by fermentation of Aureobasidium pullulans, used as an edible film-forming agent, coating material and capsule shell in food and pharmaceutical applications.We supply bulk Pullulan sourced from leading China manufacturers, available in powder form for global food and beverage producers. Our Pullulan is widely used in fruits and confectionery, vegetarian capsule shells, oxygen-barrier packaging films, breath-freshener dissolving films and dietary supplement coatings.
Pullulan is a linear homopolysaccharide of maltotriose units (α-1,4 and α-1,6 linked glucose) produced by the fungus Aureobasidium pullulans through aerobic fermentation. It forms transparent, odourless, tasteless and oxygen-barrier films.
This makes it an ideal edible coating for fruits, confectionery, supplements and pharmaceutical capsules. Pullulan capsules (HPMC alternative) are plant-derived, non-GMO, and suitable for vegetarian/halal/kosher markets.
