Main Products
Konjac gum, the main component is konjac glucomannan(KGM), is a kind of high molecular polysaccharide and soluble dietary fiber. Konjac gum is white in color, fine in particle size, with high viscosity and with no special smell of konjac, stable when dissolved in the water. Konjac gum has the strongest viscosity among the plant-based water-soluble gelling agent.
Introduction
Konjac is a plant found in China, Japan and Indonesia. Konjac is mainly composed of glucomannan contained in bulbs. It is a kind of food with low heat energy, low protein and high dietary fiber. It also has many physical and chemical characteristics such as water soluble,thickening, stabilization, suspension, gel, film forming, and so on. Therefore, it is a natural health food and an ideal food additive. Glucomannan is a fibrous substance traditionally used in food formulations, but now it is used as another way to lose weight. In addition, konjac extract also brings other benefits to other parts of the body.
APPLICATION&FUNCTION
Konjac is widely used as a food and food additive:
As a thickener and stabilizer, it can be added to jelly, jam, fruit juice, vegetable juice, ice cream, ice cream and other cold drinks, solid drinks, seasoning powder and soup powder;
