Synthesis of Hydrogels Made of Poly-γ-Glutamic Acid (γ-PGA) for Potential Applications as Probiotic-Delivery Vehicles

Numerous hydrogels made of poly-γ-glutamic acid (γ-PGA) and various cross-linkers have been explored, but only limited data on hydrogels made of γ-PGA and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) are available. In this study, γ-PGA, a biodegradable and edible biopolyamide, was successfully cross-linked with sele...
