• Application: Pullulan from Aureobasidium pullulans is a versatile water-soluble polysaccharide composed of glucose units that dissolve readily in water and dimethylformamide, providing a tasteless and odorless medium. Its solution is viscous and stable, exhibiting resistance to salt, enzymes, heat, and pH changes, while maintaining its neutral properties without gelling. With excellent thickening effects comparable to gum arabic, pullulan is ideal for applications requiring a strong film-forming agent with superb gas barrier properties against oxygen and nitrogen. Commonly utilized in the food industry for creating edible, water-soluble films, pullulan also finds use in forming oxygen-impermeable packaging, adhesives, and coatings for various products, including dried foods, tobacco, fertilizers, and seeds. Its hemocompatible, nonimmunogenic, and noncarcinogenic nature allows for diverse applications in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics such as tissue engineering, drug delivery, and as an ingredient in shampoos and lotions. Its role in producing green smart materials, hydrogels, and nanosystems further underscores pullulan's extensive capabilities as a polymeric backbone for advanced technological and biomedical innovations.
