Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of polyglutamic acid, in particular to a polyglutamic acid fermentation and purification device. Background Art

[0002] Polyglutamic acid (PGA) is a polymer material with numerous excellent properties and is widely used in cosmetics, food, and pharmaceuticals. PGA is a polymer composed of glutamic acid monomers linked by peptide bonds between α-amino and γ-carboxyl groups. Produced by microbial fermentation, PGA is water-soluble and biodegradable. PGA exhibits excellent moisturizing properties, 2-3 times that of hyaluronic acid, and is therefore widely used as a moisturizer in cosmetics. Due to the large number of free carboxyl groups in its molecular chain, PGA can form stable chelates with metal ions, which serve to adsorb heavy metal ions. PGA is completely biodegradable in the environment, producing non-toxic glutamic acid, making it an environmentally friendly polymer. Due to its excellent moisturizing properties and safety, PGA is often used as an ingredient in various skin care products, such as creams and serums. In the food industry, PGA can be used as a thickener and stabilizer to improve food texture and shelf life. PGA can also be used as a drug carrier to control drug release rate and enhance drug efficacy.
