polyglutamic acid

γ-polyglutamic acid is also known as (γ-PGA, γ-polyglutamic acid), CAS NO: [25513-46-6] It is a water-soluble, biodegradable, biopolymer prepared by microbial fermentation . γ-PGA polyglutamic acid (γ-polyglutamic acid) is a sticky substance found in "natto"-fermented beans. γ-PGA polyglutamic acid (γ-polyglutamic acid) is a special anionic natural polymer, based on the amide bond between α-amino group (α-amino) and γ-carboxyl group (γ-caboxyl) The molecular weight of homo-polyamide γ-PGA formed by the amide linkage ranges from 50,000 to 2 million Daltons.

characteristic:

· Biodegradable, friendly

· Water-soluble, can get clean and transparent solution

· Easy to crosslink to form a hydrogel with good performance

· Can be made into sodium, calcium, magnesium, hydrogen type

Application areas:

γ-polyglutamic acid (γ-PGA) (γ-polyglutamic acid) and its derivatives have molecular weights ranging from 50,000 to 2 million Daltons, so they can be used in the food industry, cosmetics, Water treatment, wastewater treatment, hygiene products, medical treatment, hydrogel and other fields.

Food industry-as a thickener for foods and beverages, to improve the taste of beverages, added as a stabilizer to ice cream, texture enhancers, binders, animal feed additives, antifreeze or protective agents, reduce bitterness , Used as an additive in starch foods (bread & noodles) to avoid aging, improve food texture and maintain food shape.

Water treatment-absorbent or chelating agent for heavy metals.

Wastewater treatment-biopolymer flocculant, can replace polyacrylamide.

Hygiene products-used as absorbents for baby diapers, women's sanitary napkins, etc.

Medicine-carrier for drug release, hemostatic agent, soft tissue filler. .

Cosmetics-as a moisturizer to improve the quality of skin care, as a whitening agent with long-lasting anti-wrinkle properties.

Advantages over other polymer products:

γ-polyglutamic acid (γ-PGA) (γ-polyglutamic acid) is a biodegradable and degradable product with nutrients for the skin.

Suitable for skin conditions and provides a long-lasting moisturizing effect better than HA (hyaluronic acid) and collagen

γ-PGA derivatives have good strength, transparency and elasticity.

γ-polyglutamic acid (γ-polyglutamic acid) (γ-PGA) can be used in skin care products, shampoos, hair creams, shaving creams and lipsticks.
