Pullulan, an extracellular water-soluble microbial polysaccharide produced by strains of aureobasidium pullulans is a linear -d-glucan made mainly of maltotriose repeating units interconnected via -(16)linkages.It is a kind of characteristic polysaccharide, which was first found by r.Bauer in 1938.The molecular weight of pullulan is from 4.8104 to 2.2106 dol.The average molecular weight of commodity pullulan is 2105consisting approximately of 480 maltotrioses.
