A
natural substance that is a water-soluble polysaccharide, produced by
fermentation from starch or auveobasidium pullulans is known as pullulan. It is
technically a biopolymer with unique as well as interesting properties and
consists of maltotriose units linked through α-1, 6-glucosidic bonds. Pullulan
has a typical chemical linkage pattern that possesses distinctive physical
traits such as high adhesion properties, which tend to form strong film with
oxygen impermeable ability. Pullulan is a white to off white coloured powder
and is edible, flavourless, odourless, tasteless and extremely stable
biopolymer. It is non-toxic and non-immunogenic in nature that readily
dissolves in water. Its viscosity is comparatively lower than many other
polysaccharides and does not form a gel. Being a versatile polysaccharide it
decomposes at a temperature of 250°C or 280°C. Pullulan is majorly used in
R&D as a technology platform for innovation in cosmetic or pharmaceutical
industry. It can form excellent film that is heat sealable as a good oxygen
barrier and printable film. Pullulan is widely used in the development of
various pharmaceutical, cosmetics, industrial applications and food industries
as encapsulating agents, adhesives, thickening, and extending agents.
According
to the study “Europe
Cosmetic Grade Pullulan Industry Situation and Prospects Research Report”,
cosmetic grade pullulan is usually used in the manufacture of cosmetics due to
its tightening effect on human skin which is almost instant but washes away easily.
In a long run, pullulan will enhance the immune response and make the skin more
resistant to infections. Pullulan is edible and therefore, used as coatings, in
dressings and sauces, innovative soft candy, edible chewing gum, as egg and
fruit preservatives. Pullulan is easily washed away in water and therefore,
used extensively in food industry. It is commercially used in the manufacture
of edible films that are used in various breath freshener or oral hygiene
products. Pullulan is majorly used in scientific research as a carrier for drug
delivery.
Various
product types in cosmetic grade pullulan in European market are stainless
steel, aluminium, copper and others. Geographically, cosmetic grade pullulan in
European market is spread across Germany, Russia, UK, France, Italy and other
regions. The leading players in cosmetic grade pullulan in European market are
