Product description:
Gamma poly glutamic acid (gamma-PGA)
Introduction:
Gamma poly glutamic acid (gamma-PGA) is a natural, multi functional, biodegradable biopolymer produced from L glutamic acid through a fermentation process with a Bacillus subtilis. PGA is a water soluble homo polyamide consisting of D and L glutamic acid monomers connected by amide linkages between apha-amino and gamma-carboxyl groups. It is biodegradable, edible and non toxic towards human and environment; it has broad applications in fields of medicine, foods, cosmetics, plastics and water treatment.
The molecular weight ranges from 50 kDa to 2000 kDa with the degree of polymerization ranging from 500 to 5,000. The molecular chain of gamma-PGA has lots of carboxyl group, which can be formed hydrogen bonding internal molecules or between different molecular. It has high water absorbability and moisturizing effect. gamma-PGA can be used as thickener, gel, filmogen, humectant, retarder, cosolvent, binder and anti freezer.
