An exopolysaccharide, EPS-B108, was isolated from the fermented broth (with a yield of 11.3 g/L) of halotolerant Bacillus sp. SCU-E108 by ethanol precipitation, anion-exchange and gel-filtration chromatography, and well characterized by means of physical, chemical and spectral techniques. Data indicated that EPS-B108 was composed solely of fructose with a high molecular weight of 3.578 × 107 g/mol, and contained a β-(2→6)-linked d-Fruf backbone with a single β-d-Fruf at C-1 position. An irregular saccular- or cake-like shape was observed under the enlarged view. It showed no acute oral toxicity in mice, and had good thermal stability (242 °C), solubility in water (91.3%) and oil-holding capacity (1717.0%). Steady-shear flow and dynamical viscoelasticity of aqueous EPS-B108 solutions varied with the polymer concentration, shear rate and temperature, and were described by the Power-law model. Together, these findings support the further application of EPS-B108 as an alternative source of functional food additives and ingredients.
