Pullulan Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Pullulan Polysaccharide
Pullulan supplier in Malaysia for food, nutraceutical, pharmaceutical and personal-care formulators. Pullulan is a fermentation-derived polysaccharide valued for film formation, binding and glazing, and each application grade carries its own declaration and documentation requirements.
Food, capsule, pharmaceutical and cosmetic grades can be requested as a white to off-white, odourless powder. The capsule grade is the basis for vegetarian hard capsule shells, while food and cosmetic grades serve film-forming and binding roles.
Food and beverage systems, capsule manufacture, oral dosage forms and personal-care formulations each define different acceptance criteria. State the end use, required specification and quantity so the quoted grade matches the formulation.
Send the required grade, specification, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation, and supply is subject to applicable requirements.
