Evonik Industries has extended its current range of active ingredients with apolypeptide of L-glutamic acid that is produced via biotechnology. TEGO Cosmo PGA is produced from gamma polyglutamic acid, a naturally occurringbiopolymer present in fermented soybean—a traditional healthfood popular in Japan for more than 800 years and known as Natto .

The ingredient is produced via the fermentation of L-glutamic acidby Bacillus subtilis natto , the same microorganism used for the preparation of Natto. Theproduct is edible, nontoxic to humans and biodegradable.

The characteristic polyanionic nature of the polypeptide leads tomultiple benefits for many industries. For instance, it is known tofacilitate calcium absorption, improving osteoporosis conditionswhen used as a nutrition supplement.
