SPECKARE PGA
SpecKare PGA is a natural occurring, multi-functional, and biodegradable biopolymer. It is produced through fermentation by Bacillus. Subtilis using glutamic acid. PGA is consists of glutamic acid monomers crosslinked between _-amino and Y-carboxyl groups. It is water-soluble, edible and non-toxic towards human, and is environment friendly. Large number of carboxyl groups along the molecule chain of gamma PGA can form hydrogen bonding in a molecule or between different molecules. Thus it has high water absorbability and moisture-retaining capability.
Thanks to its unique properties, Gamma PGA can be used as thickener, filmogen, humectant, retarder, cosolvent, binder and anti-freezer, therefore the application prospect of gamma PGA is promising.
