A molding having a high pullulan content which has excellent stability to moisture changes, in contrast to conventional high−pullulan−content moldings, which have poor stability to moisture changes; a process for producing the high−pullulan−content molding which comprises incorporating a given amount of alpha , alpha −trehalose together with pullulan to thereby enhance stability to moisture changes; and a use of the high−pullulan−content molding obtained by the process. L'invention concerne un moulage ayant une teneur de pullulane élevée, qui présente une excellente stabilité aux changements d'humidité, par rapport à des moulages classiques à teneur de pullulane élevée dont la stabilité aux changements d'humidité est faible. L'invention concerne un procédé de production du moulage à teneur de pullulane élevée, qui consiste à incorporer une dose donnée de alpha , alpha -tréhalose au pullulane afin d'en améliorer la stabilité aux changements d'humidité. Elle concerne enfin l'utilisation du moulage à teneur de pullulane élevée obtenu suivant ce procédé.
