Organic Konjac Glucomannan Powder Konjac Flour As Food Additives
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 Gum is used in the food and beverage industry as a thickening, stabilizing, gelling and bonding agent. Konjac Gum can be used in Food, Beverage, Pharmaceutical, Health & Personal care products, Agriculture/Animal Feed/Poultry. Konjac Gum is also used instead of Locust Bean Gum in a stabilizer and added to ice cream, cheese and other dairy products, it will stabilize their quality by preventing the development of ice crystals.
2. Advantages of konjac powder

| High viscosity | Konjac gum has a viscosity of up to 40,000 millipascals · second (mPa.s) and water absorption of up to 40-100 times |
| Hydratability | Konjac powder has excellent hydration and does not degrade significantly even in ice water |
| Irreversible heat | Konjac powder can form a unique toughness of heat irreversible gel |
| Reversible heat | Konjac powder can also form a reversible gel system with carrageenan and xanthan gum |
| Nonionic colloid | Konjac powder belongs to non-ionic colloid. Compared to ionic colloid various ions, it has PH-Stability, Heat-Stability, Salt-Stability. |
3. Applications of konjac powder
konjac powder is usually used as food ingredients and additives such as thickner, stabilizers, nutritional supplements.
