Introduction
Gamma-poly-glutamic acid (gamma-PGA) is a natural occurring, multi-functional,and biodegradablebiopolymer. It is produced through fermentation by Bacillussubtilis using glutamic acid. PGA isconsists of glutamic acid monomers crosslinkedbetween -amino and -carboxyl groups, and themolecular weight of PGA is usuallybetween 100~1000 kDa. It is water-soluble, edible and non-toxictowards human, andis environment friendly. It has broad applications in the fields of medicine, food,cosmetics, and water treatment.
Applications
gamma-PGA and its derivatives can be widely used in the food industry, cosmetics, health care,
water treatment, hygienic products, medical and other fields.
