[Introduction]

Konjac is a plant that is found in China, Japan and Indonesia. The plant is part of the genus Amorphophallus. Typically, it thrives in the warmer regions of Asia.

The extract of the Konjac root is referred to as Glucomannan. Glucomannan is a fiber-like substance traditionally used in food recipes, but now it is utilized as an alternative means of weight loss. Along with this benefit, konjac extract contains other benefits for the rest of the body as well.

The main material of the natural konjac gum is fresh konjac, which grow in virgin forest in Hubei area. We use advanced method to distill the KGM, aminophenol, Ca, Fe, Se which are good for health. Konjac is known as“ the seventh nutriment for human”.

Konjac Gum with its special water holiding capacity, stability, emulsibility, thickening property,suspension property and gel propery can especially adopted in food industry.

[Main Function]

1.It could reduce postprandial glycemia, blood cholesterol and blood pressure.

2.It could control appetite and reduce body weight.

3.It could increase insulin sensitivity.
4.It could control insulin resistant syndrome and diabetesII development.
5.It could reduce heart disease.

[Application]

1) Gelatinizer(jelly, pudding, Cheese, soft candy, jam );

2) Stabilizer(meat, beer);

3) Film Former(capsule, preservative)

4) Water-keeping agent( Baked Foodstuff );

Classification :
Carbohydrates may be classified into two broad groups.
1. Sugars and
2. Non-sugars or polysaccharides.

Sugars : Sugars are sweet crystalline substances and soluble in water.

Monosaccharides : The monosaccharides are polyhydroxy aldehydes or polyhydroxy ketones which cannot be hydrolysed into simpler sugars.
They may again be classified according to the nature of carbonyl group.
(a) Aldoses, which contain an aldehyde group
(b) Ketoses, which contain a keto group
The aldoses and ketoses are further divided into sub-groups on the basis of the number of carbon atoms in their molecules, as trioses, tetroses, pentoses, hexoses etc.
Thus monosaccharides are generally referred to as aldotrioses, aldotetroses, aldopentoses, aldohexoses, ketohexoses etc.
