ABOUT
About ε-Polylysine
The polylysine manufactured by JNC is ε-poly-L-lysine (ε-Polylysine).
ε-Poly-L-lysine has a unique chemical structure in which the essential amino acid L-lysine is peptide-bonded at the side chain amino group (ε-Position).
It is a highly cationic polymer because the ε-amino group has strong cationic properties.
Polylysine includes α-Polylysine, ε-Polylysine (free form), and ε-Polylysine hydrochloride, but the Polylysine manufactured by JNC is ε-Polylysine (free form). Please note that only JNC Polylysine is GRAS certified. Please check below article for details.
