Product Description:
1. What is konjac and konjac powder?
Konjac, also termed as or Konjac glucomannan(KGM) or konyaku (konnyaku), konjak, Amorphophallus konjac, konjaku,
konnyaku potato,devil's tongue, voodoo lily, snake palm, elephant yam (paeoniifolius), shirataki.
Konjac belongs to perennial herbal plants of Araceae family, mainly grows in the moutainous regions (400-1500m above the sea level)
and is harvested once a year in October. China is the main production area and accounts for about 70% of the world's konjac production.
Konjac powder is got from konjac root by cleaning, peeling, cutting, drying and milling.

Konjac Powder is perfect for creating a variety of bath, body, skin and hair care products that require gelling/texturizing effects similar to those provided by synthetic polymers. It can help formulate clear, stable gels that maintain a soft and pleasing feel, without any tackiness, while providing a clean, plant-based ingredient option that appeals to the natural category. It is a film former stabilizer and thickener. Unlike Xanthan Gum, Guar Gum or Locust Bean Gum, Konjac is the non-ionic type and therefore can not be influenced by the salt in a system. ie aloe
When Xanthan Gum and Konjac Gum are used at a ratio of 3:2, the greatest gelatification will be achieved.
INCI: Amorphophallus Konjac Root Powder
Country of Origin: China
Usage: 0.5% gives the same consistency of approx. 1% xanthan gum recipe; 1% Konjac gum Powder makes a thick that is stable.
This product is certified Kosher (Pareve)
The viscosity decreases with decreasing pH value, while the solution changes to a gel at higher pH values. The viscosity is not affected by salt concentration but by the pH of a solution.
Constant stirring is required to completely dissolve it in water at room temperature.
To help as a thickener in an emulsified product like lotion, creams, etc use 0.05 -0.5%.
In closed containers, the shelf life is 2 years.
Konjac Gum Powder should be stored in a dry & dark place at temperatures below 77°F (25°C).
