Abstract

Abstract The viscosity of γ-polyglutamic acid(γ-PGA) solution at different concentration was determined by ubbelohde viscometer.The intrinsic viscosity [η] of γ-PGA was 7.830 L/g calculated from Huggins & Kraemer equation.Meanwhile,the correlation of relative viscosity(ηr),specific viscosity(ηsp) and the γ-PGA concentration in aqueous solution was deduced.It was expected that the γ-PGA concentration could be facilely and precisely attained by the viscosity-assaying method.
