Abstract

The present invention provides novel spherical grains of polyamino acid wh can be used as a filler in chromatography, cosmetic powder and the like. The spherical grains can be produced by a method which comprises the steps of preparing a solution of hydrophobic polyamino acid such as poly n-leucine dissolved in an organic solvent; adding the solution to an aqueous medium and agitating said medium so as to obtain a dispersion of the spherical grains of the polyamino acid dispersed in the aqueous medium while evaporating the organic solvent; and taking out the spherical grains of polyamino acid from the dispersion.
