Poly glutamic acid (gamma - PGA), also called natto glue, polyglutamic acid, it is a kind of water-soluble and biodegradable, do not contain toxic, using microbial fermentation method, biological macromolecules.Gamma PGA poly glutamic acid is a kind of viscous material, in the "natto" - fermented bean was found for the first time.Gamma PGA poly glutamic acid is a special kind of anion natural polymer, is alpha amino (alpha amino) and gamma - carboxyl (gamma - caboxyl) between the amide bonding (amide linkage) of the same type of polyamide (homo - polyamide) gamma PGA molecular weight range from 50000 to 2 million daltons.Its moisturizing water lock effect is 500 times of hyaluronic acid.
Applications:
Gamma Poly Glutamic Acid is often used as a food additive and flavour enhancer in the form of its sodium salt, monosodium glutamate.
1.Gamma Poly Glutamic Acid has been implicated in epileptic seizures. Microinjection of glutamic acid into neurons produces spontaneous depolarisations around one apart,
and this firing pattern is similar to what is known as in epileptic attacks.
2. Free glutamic acid is present in a wide variety of foods, including and and is responsible for one of the five basic tastes of the human sense of taste.
3. All meats, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy products, as well as are excellent sources of glutamic acid. Some protein-rich plant foods also serve as sources.
4. Auxigro is a plant growth preparation that contains 30% glutamic acid.
