Pullulan is natural water-soluble polysaccharide, fermented by Auveobasidium Pullulans.
It consists mainly of maltotriose units linked through α-1,6-glucosidic bonds. The average molecular weight is 2×105 Da. Pullulan can be developed into various products. It is an excellent film-former, producing a film which is heat sealable with good oxygen barrier properties. It can be used widely in both the pharmaceutical and food industries, such as encapsulating agents, adhesives, thickening, and extending agent. Pullulan has been used as a food ingredient for over 20 years in Japan. It has generally been regarded as safe (GRAS) status in the US for a much wider range of applications.
1. Binder agent for sugar coating
Pullulan is an excellent binder for sugar coating in spite of its low viscosity. It provides a smooth coating that is resistant to cracking.
2. Thickening agent for dressing and sauces
Due to its adhesive property, use of pullulan in sauces improves their on product retention without unduly increasing sauce viscosity. It is acknowledged that it is difficult to retain sauces on the surface of some pre-cooked meat and fish products, but this problem can be overcome by incorporating pullulan into the formulation.
3. Texture improvement of innovative soft candy
Incorporation of 2-3% Pullulan enables innovative soft chewy candies to be made by a cold extrusion process without resorting to conventional boiling. This enables heat sensitive materials to be used in these products. Soft candy formulated with pullulan adheres less to teeth. The candy is soft but stable at the same time.
