Discussion of the Chemical Properties and Multifunctionality of Epsilon-Polylysine
2024-01-09
Epsilon-Polylysine is a polymer with unique chemical properties used in Food Additives, pharmaceuticals and other fields in the food and biosciences. 1. Chemical properties Epsilon-Polylysine is a polymer consisting of lysine (L-lysine) monomers, which is chemically synthesised. Due to the presence of the ε-amino group, Epsilon-Polylysine exhibits strong polycationic properties. This enables it to interact with negatively charged biomolecules, such as DNA, Protein Powder, etc., thus playing an important role in drug delivery, biomaterials, and so on. 2. Food preservative applications 
Epsilon-Polylysine is widely used as Food Preservatives, especially in traditional Japanese foods such as soy sauce and tofu. Due to its powerful antibacterial and antifungal properties, it can effectively extend the shelf life of food without the use of traditional chemical preservatives. 3. Pharmaceutical applications In the pharmaceutical field, Epsilon-Polylysine exhibits good biocompatibility and biodegradability, making it an ideal candidate for use in drug delivery. Its polycationic properties allow it to interact with negatively charged biomolecules, helping to improve the solubility and stability of the drug, thereby increasing its efficacy. 4. Biocompatibility Epsilon-Polylysine is extremely compatible with living organisms, which makes it popular for medical and bioengineering applications. It binds to cell surfaces and promotes cell attachment and growth, thus offering a wide range of potential in tissue engineering and biomaterials. At Shaanxi Changsheng Industrial Co., LTD, we will continue our research on Epsilon-Polylysine to explore its potential value in different fields and become a more reliable supplier for our customers.
