Product Details
Polyglutamic acid (PGA) is a naturally existing biopolymer synthesized by Bacillus species, consisting of both D and L-glutamic acid residues. It is an anionic, water-soluble, biodegradable, and non-toxic material with a viscous consistency. This edible polyamino acid offers a broad range of industrial uses.
Due to its excellent humectant properties, polyglutamic acid is widely used in cosmetics to hydrate and moisturize the skin. It is especially beneficial for those with dry or dehydrated skin, and it may help diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. In the food industry, it is highly prized for its capacity to improve taste and flavor. Additionally, polyglutamic acid is an eco-friendly biomaterial that can be used as a drug delivery carrier and contrast medium.
