Pullulan isa polysaccharide consisting of repeating units of maltotriose residues. It is produced from starch by the yeast-like fungus Aureobasidium pullulans. Pullalan has been used as a carrier for oral, nasal and lung transmucosal drug delivery systems.
Pullulan is widely used in the food industry. It is low-digesting, tasteless as well as odorless, hence its application as a low-calorie food additive providing bulk and texture. Pullulan exhibits oxygen barrier property, excellent moisture retention, and also it prevents fungal growth.
Pullulan is a biodegradable and sustainable alternative to traditional plastic packaging and has potential health benefits, such as cholesterol-lowering properties. It is also considered a safe and non-toxic ingredient that is suitable for use by most people.
