Pullulan, an α-glucan polysaccharide, is colorless, odorless, non-toxic, non-carcinogenic,
highly biocompatible, edible and biodegradable in nature. The long chains of …

Micelles are nanostructures developed via the spontaneous assembly of amphiphilic
polymers in aqueous systems, which possess the advantages of high drug stability or active …

Pullulan is an imperative microbial exo-polymer commercially produced by yeast like fungus
Aureobasidium pullulans. Its structure contains maltosyl repeating units which comprises …

Most fossil fuel-derived polymers used for food packaging are non-biodegradable and
induce pollution by microplastic, calling for safer material. Here we review microbial …

Pullulan was successfully esterified with octenyl succinic anhydride (OSA) in aqueous
alkaline solutions. The degree of substitution (DS) was regulated from 0.0163, 0.0346 to …

In the present investigation, polyethylene glycol (PEG 6000) was used for downstream
processing of pullulan from Aureobasidium pullulans by aqueous phase separation (APS) …

Due to its unique physicochemical properties, Pullulan is an exopolysaccharide with many
applications in the food, biomedical, and pharmaceutical industries. Aiming to reduce its …

Recent advancements in development of natural polymer nono-composites led to
exploration of potential of gum acacia (GA) and tragacanth gum (TG) for design of silver …

A hypoxia-responsive pullulan-based co-polymer was developed to assess its efficacy to
deliver erlotinib (ERL) to the cervical cancer cells. Upon exposure to hypoxic condition, the …

Statistical optimization of fermentation conditions for production of pullulan from de-oiled rice
bran (DRB) by Aureobasidium pullulans in a laboratory scale stirred tank reactor (STR) was …
