What is Pullulan?
Food:
Pullulan is a non-digestible and absorbable carbohydrate that is not digested by human digestive enzymes and can be excreted from the body without causing high blood pressure, heart disease, obesity, etc.It is a healthy food material that can be used as a low-calorie food additive to make low-calorie foods and beverages.
Pullulan polysaccharide itself is non-toxic, odorless, without any side effects on human body, and can be used as fruit preservation. Prulan polysaccharide can be mixed and coated on the surface of fruits after compounding, which can play the role of isolating oxygen, delaying the corruption of fruits and preserving the freshness for a long time. It can also effectively prevent the evaporation of seafood water, the production of volatile saline nitrogen, and the oxidative depletion of nutrients.
Cosmetics:
Pullulan polysaccharides have a suitable viscosity when dissolved in water, a property that is very useful in the manufacture of cosmetics to obtain a smooth and viscous structure that allows the effective application of the active substance, Pullulan polysaccharides can be used alone or in combination with other thickening or gelling agents, with good compatibility properties.
Pullulan polysaccharides have excellent film-forming and encapsulating properties, they form tough, impermeable membranes with anti-static properties that protect the fragrance and the active substances, and they stabilize grease, resist penetration of grease and are easy to clean.
Pharmaceuticals:
Pullulan polysaccharide has very strong adhesive force and also has strong solidifying force, used as binder when made into tablets or made into granules, it can increase the bonding strength of tablets, improve impact resistance, prevent rupture, and at the same time, improve the oxygen barrier and stability of the drug.
As a binder for vitamin C effervescent tablets, the loss of vitamin C during vacuum drying and storage of its finished products is smaller than that using polyvinylpyrrolidone K30 (PVP).
