Pullulan CAS 9057-02-7 Natural Biopolymer for Food and Cosmetic Personal Care Use

BLIT Chemical Pullulan (CAS 9057-02-7) is a naturally derived, water-soluble polysaccharide produced through the controlled fermentation of starch by Aureobasidium pullulans. As a professional manufacturer and supplier of functional biopolymers, BLIT Chemical offers high-purity Pullulan with excellent film-forming ability, transparency, and stability.

Unique performance, such as lubricity, adhesion, film-forming and isolation of hamful substances.

It can be used in cosmetics such as skin care, hair care and facial cleansing products.

Pullulan appears as a white to off-white powder, odorless and tasteless, with excellent solubility in cold and hot water. It forms strong, flexible, and oxygen-impermeable films without the need for plasticizers, making it highly valuable in food, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmetic applications.

Chemically, Pullulan consists of maltotriose units connected by α-1,6 glycosidic bonds, giving it unique properties distinct from other polysaccharides such as starch or cellulose. It is non-toxic, non-ionic, biodegradable, and exhibits excellent compatibility with a wide range of active ingredients. Due to its clean-label status and biocompatibility, Pullulan is widely accepted in regulated applications requiring safety, stability, and functionality.
