Detailed Description
PULLULAN AND ITS APPLICATION
Pullulan is a biopolymer with unique and interesting properties. It is basically apolysaccharide produced by the fermentation of carbohydrate (starch/sugar) by Aureobasidium pullulans. Ubiquitous yeast like fungus. Chemically, it consists of repeated unit of maltotriose units where three glucose units in maltotriose areconnected by an α-1, 4 glycosidic bond and consecutive maltotriose units areconnected to each other by an α-1,6glycosidic bond. This typical linkagepattern in fact render some distinctivephysical traits which are different frommany known polysaccharide, oneinteresting characteristic it posses ishigh adhesion properties, which tendto form strong film with oxygenimpermeable ability.Pullulan is a white to off white powder and is flavorless, odorless tasteless andextremely stable. It is non toxic and non immunogenic in nature and readily dissolvesin water and at 5-10% it forms a non-hygroscopic viscous solution. Its viscosity is comparatively lower than many polysaccharides and it equivalent to gum Arabic. Its viscosity high in lower concentration and remains constant to relatively highconcentration and does not form a gel. It decomposes at 250 C -- 280 C. Being a versatile polysaccharide it has wide and interesting application in food,cosmetic and pharmaceutical industry with a technology platform for innovation.
 
Pullulan in Food
Being a non starch polysaccharide it can be used in food primarily as binder andthickener. Due to its low viscosity pullulan can also be used as low viscosity filler inbeverages and sauces. Its adhesive nature is exploited for making of confectionerieslike, chocolates, candies, nut cookies, lollipop toffee etc, also as protective glazingagent in food product.It can also be used as low calorie additive and prebiotic because in the gut amylase isresistance to Pullulan therefore it is partially digested resulting in isomaltose, whichhelp in growth of beneficial bacteria specially bifidobacterium. As low calorie foodPullulan can be added as partial replacement for starch in pasta, baked foods, bread,biscuit and noodles etc.Pullulan as food additive have been extensively used in Japan since last 20 year andhas GRAS status in USA while in Europe it has the E number E-1204 as food additive.
 
Pullulan in Cosmetics
Pullulan also has wide application as additive and thickener in cosmetic formulationby providing smoothness due to its stable viscous nature in wide range of pH, toheating, in most metal ion including sodium chloride.Pullulan has film forming ability. Also it is has characteristics like water solubility,dispersibility, moisture absorptivity, tackiness and toxicity. These properties of Pullulanhelps to be used in various cosmetic formulations like lotion, shampoo, face pack,eyeliner, lipstick, powder, gel, mascara, shrub etc.The adherence nature of Pullulan helps considerably in tightening of the skin resultingin exhibiting strong antiaging effect. Being a biopolymer it also forms sheer filmimproving skin texture. Being viscous oil resistance and water soluble it can be easilywashed away from the skin and maintaining freshness of the skin.
 
Pullulan in Pharmaceuticals
In pharmaceutical its film forming ability is exploited for making oral strip wherecolours flavour and functional ingredient can be entrapped in the film matrix andeffectively stabilized. Further this film forming ability is also utilized for making ofcapsule and soft gel capsule. It can also be used as bulking agent in tablets. Pullulancoating of dietary supplement tablets and soft gel helps to maintain the stability ofactive ingredient which is prone to oxidation. It oxygen impermeability is 9 time betterthen gelatin capsule and 300 times better than HPMC capsule. Being fermentationbased product it is considered vegetative and has no ‘BSE’ issue. The capsule fromPullulan can be considered as vegetal, non starch, transparent, Gluten free,preservative free and non-GMO.
Additionally pullulan and its derivative have also been used in photographic,lithographic, electronics and biomedical application (tissue engineering, woundhealing). And future prospects for pullulan looks very promising with new innovative application coming into being and its availability and production increasing in a cost effective way.
