Applications are in foods as a low calorie ingredient and the polysaccharide forms water soluble films that have been used as seed coatings and to coat fruit. Pullulan can also be used in industrial applications as a binder, film former and in pharmaceutical applications. Average MW is typically 100-200kDa. Viscosity is ca 120 mm2/s.
