Product Description

DEFINITION

Linear, neutral glucan consisting mainly of maltotriose units connected by α-1,6 glycosidic bonds. It is produced by fermentation from a food grade hydrolysed starch using a non-toxin producing strain of Aureobasidium pullulans. After completion of the

fermentation, the fungal cells are removed by microfiltration, the filtrate is heat-sterilized and pigments and other impurities are removed by adsorption and ion exchange chromatography.
