We would like to introduce our functional material "Polyglutamic Acid." With its high moisture retention, it alleviates dryness in the oral cavity and improves ease of eating. It imparts viscosity to food and enhances swallowability (reducing the risk of aspiration). Due to its effectiveness at low concentrations, it offers good formulation efficiency and can serve as a cost-effective and stable alternative to hyaluronic acid. 【Features】 ■ Reduces dryness in the oral cavity with high moisture retention → Improves ease of eating ■ Imparts viscosity to food and improves swallowability (reducing the risk of aspiration) ■ Can serve as a cost-effective and stable alternative to hyaluronic acid ■ Effective at low concentrations → Good formulation efficiency ■ Applications for thickening and improving texture ■ Suitable for dietary foods (jelly, mousse, beverages), oral care products, gum, and tablets *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
