Gamma-poly-glutamic Acid Introduction
Gamma-poly-glutamic acid (γ-PGA) is a natural, multi-functional, biodegradable biopolymer produced 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 α-amino andγ-carboxyl groups. The molecular weight ranges from 50 kDa to 2000 kDa with the degree of polymerization ranging from 500 to 5,000.
Chemical structure ofγ-PGA
The molecular chain of γ-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. g-PGA can be used as thickener, gel, filmogen, humectant, retarder, cosolvent, binder and antifreezer. Therefore, it has extensive prospects of application in cosmetics.
