Pullulan is a natural, water soluble polysaccharide with excellent film-forming and binding properties.  Pullulan films have low permeability to oxygen, which protects active ingredients, flavors, and colors incorporated into the film from deterioration. Available as a white powder, it is odorless, flavorless, and stable. Pullulan consists of maltotriose (three glucose molecules linked by α-1,4 bonds) units linked through α-1,6-glucosidic bonds.
