Konjak mannan

Description:
Konjac mannan, also known as konjac glucomannan, is a water-soluble polysaccharide derived from the tuber of the konjac plant (Amorphophallus konjac). It is primarily composed of glucose and mannose units, which are linked by β-1,4-glycosidic bonds. This substance is notable for its high viscosity and gel-forming ability when hydrated, making it a popular ingredient in food products, particularly as a thickening agent and dietary fiber supplement. Konjac mannan is low in calories and has the ability to absorb water, which can contribute to a feeling of fullness, thus being utilized in weight management products. Additionally, it has applications in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries due to its emulsifying and stabilizing properties. The substance is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) when consumed in appropriate amounts, although excessive intake may lead to gastrointestinal discomfort. Its unique properties make konjac mannan a versatile ingredient in various formulations, promoting health benefits such as improved digestion and cholesterol management.

  • Konjac glucomannan

    CAS:

    Konjac glucomannan is an acetylated (1,4)-β-D-glucomannan obtained from the tubers of Amorphophallus konjac or Konnyaku root. It is widely used in foods, pharmaceuticals paints and explosives. It has been shown that ternary mixtures of konjac glucomannan, xanthan gum and sodium alginate can form a non-covalently linked complex which exhibits enhanced rheological properties of value in, for example, functional foods.
