POLY-L-GLUTAMIC ACID
Product Description
What’s the Polyglutamic Acid(γ-PGA)
γ-polyglutamic acid, also known as (γ-PGA), is a water-soluble, biodegradable biopolymer produced by microbial fermentation. Gamma-PGA polyglutamic acid (gamma-polyglutamic acid) is a sticky substance in “natto” – fermented beans. γ-PGA polyglutamic acid (γ-polyglutamic acid) is a special anionic natural polymer, which is based on the amide bond between the α-amine group ( α -amino) and γ-carboxyl group ( γ -carboxyl) The molecular weight of homo-polyamide γ-PGA composed of amide linkage ranges from 50,000 to 2 million Daltons.
Polyglutamic Acid (PGA) is a naturally derived polypeptide that has become a sought-after ingredient in both food and cosmetics industries. Known for its superior moisturizing properties, PGA is gaining popularity as an eco-friendly, high-performance alternative to traditional humectants like hyaluronic acid. Derived from fermented soybeans, PGA is biodegradable and safe for sensitive skin, making it a preferred choice for green beauty formulations and food applications.
Polyglutamic Acid holds an impressive ability to retain moisture—up to 5,000 times its weight in water—and is highly effective in skin hydration, anti-aging, and texture improvement. In the food industry, it can be used as a food additive to enhance moisture retention in various food products.
