Konjac Glucomannan Powder (Konjac Root Fiber)
What is Konjac: Konjac is a kind of perennial herbaceous herb. It is a Amorphophallus plant. The konjac tubers contain a significant quantity of on-absorb polysaccharide with special properties (dietary fiber, gelatinizing, intestine cleaning agent, cholesterol and blood sugar reducing) called Konjacmannan or more correctly: Glucomannan which is separated into glucose and mannose by hydrolysis. The fresh Konjac tubers (Original Shaanxi) contain an average of Protein: 9.7%,Total glycoprotein:16.4%,Ash:7.0%, Glucomannan: 5.6%, Moisture: 65-78%.
Glucomannan is a water-soluble dietary fiber that’s derived from konjac root (Amorphophallus konjac). It's a high molecular weight polysacch-aride consisting primarily of mannose and glucose sugars.Glucomannan can not only absorb up to 200 times its weight in water but also creat a highly viscous gel from 20,000 to 40,000 cp and form a reversible or a thermo-non-reversible gel.
Konjac glucomannan (KGM) is a water-soluble dietary fiber that is similar to pectin in structure and function.KGM is a high molecular polysaccharide, is formed when the residues of glucose and mannose are bound together by β-1,4-linkages,the molar ratio of glucose and mannose is 1:1.6. Acetyl groups are located on every 9-19th sugar unit. These acetyl groups contribute to the solubility and gelling properties. If the acetyl groups are removed under mild alkaline conditions, the molecule will produce heat stable gels.The molecular weight of KGM from 200,000 to 2,000,000 varied by konjac species or variety, processing method and even storage time of the raw material.
Properties
Konjac powder is a dietary fiber.One particle of it consists of extremely long tread-like macro molecules tangled together. It can absorb up to 100- 200 times its weight in water. It has the highest molecular weight and viscosity among any dietary fiber known to science and has extremely high density. Konjac powder has some fishy odor and offwhite.Our Glucomannan products has not any fishy odor of Konjac. It's colour is specially white. 1.Highly soluble in cold and hot water and forms a viscous sol in 10-20 minutes. 2.Gels with mild alkali, with kappa carrageenan,with xanthan gum. 3.Stable at low PH. 4. Synergism with kappa carrageenan,xanthan gum and LBG. 5.Interaction with starch
How to obtain Konjac powder and Glucomannan
Konjac flour is obtained from Konjac dry chips. The Konjac dry chips producing is best important process. Because the quality of Konjac powder is determined with material. At present, Our manufacturer has substituted the traditional processing method by an advanced non-deterioration technological process so that the highly pure Konjac powder is obtained. Glucomannan is produced from Konjac powder. The process is to grind physically and chemical purify by alcohol (Food grade). The original characteristics of Glucomannan are not influenced by subsequent chemical purification.
Konjac Functions and Applications
Konjac products can be used in natural food,food additives,medicine, chemicals, petroleum and light-industry. It can also be formed upon interaction with other hydrocolloids such as starch, Xanthan gum or Carrageenan. Gelly: gel strength,texture improvement. Bakery products: dietary fiber supplement, improvement in sponges, prolongs the freshness. Confectionary: viscosity,texture improve,moisture enhancer, gloss. Meat products: bulking,fat replacer,moisture enhancer,sticky texture. Pasta: water holding capacity, texture improvement. Pudding: thickening,mouthfeel. Ice cream: adds viscosity,emulsion stability. Yogurt: fruit suspension,viscosity,gelation. Beverages: fiber content,mouthfeel. Edible films: both water- soluble and insoluble film to water available.
