The detail on SpecKare PGA (Gamma Poly Glutamic Acid)
from SpecChem
SpecKare PGA is a natural occurring, multi-functional, and biodegradable biopolymer. It is produced through fermentation by Bacillus subtilis using glutamic acid.
PGA consists of glutamic acid monomers crosslinked between α-amino and γ-carboxyl groups.
It is water-soluble, edible and non-toxic towards human, and is environment friendly.
Large number of carboxyl groups along the molecule chain of gamma PGA can form hydrogen bonding in a molecule or between different molecules. Thus it has high water absorbability and moisture-retaining capability.
Thanks to its unique properties, Gamma PGA can be used as thickener, filmogen, humcctant, retarder, cosolvent, binder and anti-freezer, therefore the application prospect of gamma PGA is promising.
PGA IS AVAILABLE IN 700KDA AND 2000KDA.
