γ -PGA(gamma-PGA), full name: Gamma-poly-glutamic acid, is a natural occurring, multi-functional, and biodegradable biopolymer. It is produced through fermentation by Bacillus Subtilis using glutamic acid. PGA is consists of glutamic acid monomers cross-linked between α -amino and γ -carboxyl groups, and the molecular weight of PGA is usually between 100~1000K Da. It is water-soluble, edible and non-toxic towards human, and is environment friendly. It has broad applications in the fields of medicine, food, cosmetics, water treatment and agriculture.
Applications:
γ -PGA and its derivatives have molecular weights ranging from 50, 000 to more than 2 million Daltons, hence they have wide applications in food industry, cosmetics, health care, water treatment, waste water treatment, Hygiene products, Medical treatments, Hydrogels etc.
Food industry - as thickener for foods & drinks, improves taste of drinks, stabilizer in ice creams, texture enhancer, binder, animal feed supplement, ant freezing agent or cry protectant, bitterness relieving agent, as an additive in preparation of starch foods (bakery & noodles) for avoiding staling, enhancing food texture and maintaining food shapes.
Water treatment Heavy metal absorbent or chelating agent.
Waste water treatment Biopolymer flocculent, a substitute for polyacrylamide.
Health Care Facilitates calcium absorption in osteoporosis cases.
Hygiene products as absorbent in Baby diapers, women's tampons etc.
Medical treatment Drug release carrier, a hemostatic agent, soft tissue augmentation, .
Cosmetics - as a humectant, moisturizer to improve skin care quality, as a whitening agent, has anti-wrinkle property which gives long lasting effect
