Pullulan Powder

What is Pullulan Powder?    

Feature

Excellent Film-Forming and Barrier Properties: Pullulan solution, after drying, forms a transparent, flexible, and dense film with significantly superior barrier properties against oxygen, oils, and aromas compared to many natural polysaccharides. The film exhibits good mechanical strength without the need for plasticizers.

High Water Solubility and Low Viscosity: It readily dissolves in cold water to form a low-viscosity solution, suitable for spraying, dipping, and other processing techniques without affecting product texture. Its solution is stable, heat- and acid-resistant, and not decomposed by human digestive enzymes.

Biodegradable and Environmentally Friendly: Pullulan can be completely decomposed into carbon dioxide and water by various microorganisms in the environment, exhibiting no ecotoxicity. Its raw material is renewable starch, and the production process is green, meeting the requirements of sustainable development.

Adhesive and Forming Auxiliary Functions: It possesses excellent adhesive properties and can be used as a binder for solid dosage forms such as tablets and feed. The coating or capsules formed after drying can have precisely controlled thickness and dissolution rate.

Applications

Food Preservation and Edible Coatings: As a preservative coating for fruits, vegetables, nuts, and pastries, it blocks oxygen and reduces moisture loss, significantly extending shelf life. Used in the preparation of edible packaging films or capsules to encapsulate volatile components such as oils and flavorings.

Pharmaceutical and Health Product Dosage Form Innovation: A primary raw material for plant-based capsules (such as soft capsules and enteric-coated capsules), replacing gelatin to meet vegetarian or religious dietary needs. Used as a film-forming matrix for tablet coatings, oral instant films, or wound dressings.

Environmentally Friendly Materials and Industrial Applications: Manufactures disposable edible tableware (such as straws and packaging bags), reducing plastic pollution. Used as a surface coating for paper or a temporary setting agent for textiles, improving product performance and facilitating cleaning.

Cosmetics and Specialty Technologies: Used as a film-forming agent in products such as face masks and hair masks, providing a firming effect and locking in active ingredients. Used as a cell scaffold material in 3D bioprinting or for microencapsulation technology to embed sensitive ingredients.

For some products that require special packaging during transportation, we will carry out more delicate packaging. For example, retinal needs to be stored at -20 °C, so we choose cold chain transportation during transportation; deoxyarbutin will change color during transportation, so we will Vacuum packing of deoxyarbutin
