Pullulan, desalinized

Pullulan is a water-soluble polysaccharide composed of maltotriose repeating units, linked via α-(1→4) and α-(1→6) glycosidic bonds. It exhibits excellent film-forming properties, biodegradability, and oxygen barrier capabilities. The desalinized form has reduced ionic impurities, improving stability and performance in sensitive applications.
Natural polysaccharide from Aureobasidium pullulans.
Mn ~200,000
