Product Information

• Name: Pullulan
• Synonyms: E1204 Polymaltotriose
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Pullulan is a polysaccharide that is made up of D-glucose units linked in a beta-1,6 configuration. Pullulan has been used as a model system to study the molecular mechanisms of intramolecular hydrogen transfer reactions. The process optimization of pullulan production was studied using skin cells and structural analysis. This polymer is also used in food hydrocolloids, where it can be used to control the phase transition temperature. Pullulan has also been shown to have anti-angiogenic effects on liver cells and water vapor absorption properties.
