What is pullulan capsules

Everyone is not very clear about pullulan capsules, so the first thing we have to do is to figure out what pullulan is, so that we can know what pullulan capsules are.
Pullulan is a natural water-soluble polysaccharide produced by fermentation of Aureobasidium pullulans. Its molecule is formed by the combination of maltotriose through α-1,6-glucosidic bonds, with an average molecular weight of 2×105 Da. Pullulan polysaccharide can be processed into a variety of products. It has good film-forming properties, the formed pullulan film is very stable, and has excellent oxygen barrier properties. It is widely used in capsule forming agents and thickeners in the pharmaceutical and food industries. , adhesives, food packaging, etc.
Pullulan can be used in the pharmaceutical industry to make capsules, tablets, non-crystalline drugs, hemostatic agents, plasma bulking agents, X-ray fluoroscopy contrast agents; toxoids and vaccine protection agents; wound sutures; artificial organs and anti-aging Blood coagulation medical materials, etc.
Moreover, compared with other capsules, Pullulan capsules have very obvious advantages: 1. The oxygen transmission rate of Pullulan capsules is about 1/8 of gelatin capsules and 1/300 of HPMC capsules, which can effectively protect the contents Free from oxidation and prolong the storage period; 2. The transparency is equivalent to that of animal capsules, and the filling content is clearly visible; 3. Does not contain animal protein and fat, is not easy to breed microorganisms, and has stable quality; 4. Does not contain animal ingredients, no madness Concerns about zoonotic diseases such as cattle disease and foot-and-mouth disease; 5. Made of natural plant materials, without religious and vegetarian restrictions.
Pullulan has no side effects and can be used safely as food and medicine, so people don’t need to worry too much about pullulan. The performance of pullulan capsules is much better than ordinary capsules, which is a good choose.

Pullulan Capsules

Product introduction: Pullulan polysaccharide capsules have wide applicability, no risk of cross-linking reaction, and high stability capsules.
Product Category: Pharmaceutical Excipients
Product application: Its own water content is low, and its oxygen permeability is low, which can protect the contents from oxidation and is easy to store. The ingredients are natural and free of animal tissue, suitable for vegetarians and people of different religious beliefs.
Product features: Pullulan polysaccharide capsules have wide applicability, no risk of cross-linking reaction, and high stability. Its raw material is natural water-soluble polysaccharide, which is produced by fermentation and is widely used in food, medicine and consumer products. The dissolution rate is reduced), the drug release rate is relatively stable, and the individual differences are small.
Product advantages: The appearance of pullulan polysaccharide hollow capsules is good and crystal clear, which improves the grade of the product. Pullulan plant capsules are almost not brittle in low humidity environment, and the properties of capsule shells are still stable under high temperature. For the large temperature difference between the north and the south of our country, and the different storage conditions of transportation and retail terminals, Pullulan polysaccharide plant capsules undoubtedly provide a solution for some pharmaceutical factories and health care product enterprises.
