Pullulan

Pullulan is a linear α-glucan polysaccharide with unique repeating maltotriose units, which can self-assemble to form continuous, flexible, transparent films with superior oxygen barrier performance, far better than many common edible film materials. It prevents oxygen & moisture penetration, protecting active ingredients, extending shelf life and reducing degradation.

Unlike gelatin (animal source), pullulan is purely microbial plant-based, perfectly matching global vegan/vegetarian clean label trends. It also works as a strong binder, tablet disintegration regulator, and food glazing agent, improving texture, preventing cracking and sticking, without altering original flavor or color.

• Excellent oxygen barrier edible film, extend product shelf life greatly
• 100% vegan & animal-free, ideal for vegetarian plant capsules
• Strong binding & coating function, reduce tablet brittleness & breakage
• Water-soluble, fast disintegration, ideal for oral supplements & medicines
• Neutral taste & color, no interference with food, drug & cosmetic flavors
• Biodegradable & clean label compliant, globally approved E1204 additive

Full Manufacturing Steps

1. Seed culture: Activate & cultivate high-purity Aureobasidium pullulans strains
2. Fermentation: Controlled submerged fermentation using glucose-based culture medium
3. Filtration & purification: Remove fungal biomass, impurities, residual sugars & proteins
4. De-colorization & ion exchange refining to achieve ≥99% purity
5. Spray drying: Low-temperature spray drying to form uniform fine powder
6. Sieve classification, microbial testing, sealed moisture-proof packaging

GMP closed fermentation & purification workshop, strict strain control and impurity removal, ensuring consistent viscosity, high purity, low microbial counts, meeting pharma-grade plant capsule raw material requirements and global regulatory standards.

Specialized microbial polysaccharide production base, annual pullulan output reaches 60 tons, multiple viscosity grades in regular stock, 2-3 tons spot inventory for fast small orders and large framework orders. Constant temperature dry warehouse to avoid moisture clumping and viscosity variation.
