Polyglutamic Acid

What is polyglutamic acid?

Polyglutamic Acid powder (γ-PGA), also known as natto bacteria gum, is a water-soluble, biodegradable, non-toxic, biopolymer obtained by microbial fermentation. γ-PGA polyglutamic acid is a special anionic natural polymer, which is a homotype formed by amide linkage between α-amino and γ-carboxyl groups. The molecular weight of homo-polyamide γ-PGA varies from 50,000 to 2 million Daltons. Its moisturizing and locking effect is 500 times that of hyaluronic acid. Mainly used for moisturizing, whitening, antibacterial and promoting skin health.

Polyglutamic acid was first found to exist in the highly viscous drawing of Japanese natto food (fermented small soybeans), and it is referred to as γ-PGA in China. Biopolymerization through liquid fermentation produces decomposable high-molecular amino acid polymers.

What are the benefits for the skin?

1. γ-PGA is the main component of natto viscous colloid, which has the effect of promoting mineral absorption. Japan has included γ-PGA in the list of health care ingredients to promote mineral absorption.

2. The special molecular structure of γ-PGA makes it have a strong moisturizing ability. Adding γ-PGA to cosmetics or skin care products can effectively increase the moisturizing ability of the skin and promote skin health. Compared with Hyaluronic acid (HA), which is recognized as the most moisturizing agent, the moisturizing effect of γ-PGA exceeds its effect by 2-3 times. It is a new generation of biotechnology moisturizing ingredients.

3. Polyglutamic Acid powder has a good promotion on the activity of fibroblasts, etc., has a revitalizing effect, and can be used in anti-aging and anti-wrinkle cosmetics

4. It has excellent buffering capacity for acid and alkali, which can effectively balance the pH value of soil and avoid the acidic soil caused by long-term use of chemical fertilizers.

5. Polyglutamic acid has excellent water solubility, strong adsorption and biodegradability, and the degradation product is pollution-free glutamic acid, which is an excellent environmentally friendly polymer material

What are the application directions?

Cosmetic:

With the moisturizing ability, the addition amount is 0.05-0.1. Completely suitable for all skin conditions and provides long-lasting moisturizing benefits superior to HA (hyaluronic acid) and collagen, can be used in skin care products, shampoos, hair creams, shaving creams and lipsticks

Food application

Cereals, baked, fried foods, tea drinks, ice cream, traditional foods

Agricultural application

γ-Polyglutamic acid γ-PGA can be used as a nutrient for increasing plant production. Polyglutamic acid can better transport nutrients and water in the soil to plants, form a protective film on the roots of plants, protect the root hairs of plants, and allow plants to grow. Growing better.
