Description
Gamma - Polyglutamic acid is a water soluble, biodegradable, non - toxic biopolymer produced by microbial fermentation. Gamma - PGA is a sticky material first found in natto , a fermented soybean.
Gamma - Polyglutamic acid is an unusual anionic, naturally occurring homo polyamide that is made of D & L glutamic acid units connected by amide linkages between alpha amino & gamma carboxylic acid groups. CAS : 25513-46-6
Gamma - PGA has a molecular weights ranging from 50,000 to more than 2 million Daltons.
Structure:
Properties
Non toxic towards humans and environment
Biodegradable, hence eco friendly
Water soluble, gives non odorous clear transparent solution
Can be easily cross linked to form hydro gels which further have excellent properties
Can be prepared in Na, Ca, Mg, H forms.
Applications
Gamma - 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, antifreezing agent or cryoprotectant, bitterness relieving agent, as an additive in preparation of starch foods ( bakery & noodles ) for avoiding staling, enhancing food texture and maintaining food shapes.

Cosmetics - as a humectant, moisturizer to improve skin care quality, as a whitening agent, has anti wrinkle property which gives long lasting effect.
Advantages over other commercial available polymers
Non toxic, Biodegradable and degraded end products are glutamates which are nutritional ingredients to skin.
Fully compatible with all skin conditions and provide long lasting moisturizing effect better than HA ( Hyaluronic acid ) and Collagen
Is required in very less concentration hence cost effective.
Gamma - PGA derivatives have excellent strength, transparency and elasticity.
Gamma - PGAcan be used in skin care products, shampoo, hair lotion, shaving cream and lipsticks
