Introduction
γ-Polyglutamic acid  is a water soluble, biodegradable, non-toxic biopolymer produced by microbial fermentation. γ-PGA is a sticky material first found in “natto”, a fermented soybean. γ-PGA is an unusual anionic, naturally occurring homo polyamide that is made of D & L glutamic acid units connected by amide linkages between alpha amino & gamma carboxylic acid groups.  γ-PGA  has a molecular weights ranging from 50,000 to more than 2 million Daltons.
CAS No. : 25513-46-6
Formula: L-Glu-(L-Glu)n-L-Glu

Functions
  · Non toxic towards humans and environment
  · Biodegradable, hence eco friendly
  · Water soluble, gives non odorous clear transparent solution
  · Can be easily cross linked to form hydro gels which further have excellent properties
  · Can be prepared in Na, Ca, Mg, H forms.
Applications
γ - PGA and its derivatives have molecular weights ranging from 50,000 to more than 2 million Daltons, hence they have wide applications in food industry, cosmetics,health care, water treatment, waste water treatment, Hygiene products, Medical treatments, Hydrogels etc.
  · Water treatment – Heavy metal absorbent or chelating agent.
  · Waste water treatment – Biopolymer flocculant, a substitute for polyacrylamide.
  · Health Care – Facilitates calcium absorption in osteoporosis cases.
  · Hygiene products – As absorbent in Baby diapers, women’s tampons etc.
  · Medical treatment – Drug release carrier, a haemostatic agent, soft tissue augmentation,.
  · Cosmetics - As a humectant, moisturizer to improve skin care quality, as a whitening agent, has anti wrinkle property which gives long lasting effect.
