Product Description: Pullulan (Pullulan standard 5800) (Mw 362-480 kDa; Mn 100-200 kDa) is a class of orally active and water-soluble linear glucosic polysaccharide. Pullulan can be isolated from the polymorphic fungus Aureobasidium pullulans. Pullulan is composed of maltotriose repeating units linked by α-1,6 linkages and is an amorphous slime matter. Pullulan is widely used in food, environment, pharmaceutical, manufacturing, and electronics[1][2][3][4].
