Description

Aureobasidium pullulans is a high-purity microbial product derived from the fermentation of the fungus *Aureobasidium pullulans*. This versatile compound is valued for its role as a source of pullulan, a natural polysaccharide with unique film-forming and adhesive properties. It is essential for manufacturers in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries seeking natural, biodegradable ingredients for innovative applications.

Application

• As a raw material for the production of pullulan, a natural polysaccharide used as a food-grade film former and edible coating.
• In the pharmaceutical industry for the development of controlled-release drug delivery systems and capsule formulations.
• As a bio-based adhesive and binder in specialty industrial applications.
• In cosmetic formulations as a natural thickener, stabilizer, and film-forming agent.
• For research and development in biotechnology and microbiology studies.
• In the production of oxygen barrier films for food packaging to extend shelf life.
