DEFINITION
Pullulan is a neutral, simple polysaccharide produced by the growth of Aureobasidium pullulans. It has a chain structure of repeated α-1,6-bonds of maltotriose composed of three glucoses in α-1,4-bonds. It may contain some maltotetraosyl units. It contains NLT 90% of glucan, calculated on the dried basis.
