Konjac glucomannan is also a plant gum, but compared with other natural gums such as xanthan gum, guar gum, acacia bean gum, etc., its viscosity is higher, in the PH value decreased to 3.8 below, still remain stable and do not precipitate, and with other gums such as xanthan gum, carrageenan, etc. after the compound has an excellent synergistic effect, can make the viscosity of xanthan gum greatly increased. As the konjac glucomannan has water soluble, water-holding thickening, stabilization, suspension, gelling, bonding, film formation and other unique physical and chemical properties and it has a wide range of applications and development value. Now konjac powder (glucomannan primary products) not only as an important food additive in the edible chemical industry is widely used, but also in the daily chemical industry is used to make beauty masks, paraffin wax, hand cream, toothpaste, freshness agent, etc.
The application of konjac and market prospects
Based on the edible health effects of konjac, only 20 million people in the world daily average supplemental intake of soluble dietary fiber 13.5 grams (konjac special refined powder 17 grams), the daily demand for konjac gum (konjac glucomannan) reached 340 tons, 125,000 tons per year, its sales will reach more than 10 billion yuan. This refers only to a high fiber intermediate products, does not yet include the konjac glucomannan used to lower sugar, lipids, blood pressure, pulse, cholesterol, weight loss, circulation, inhibit diabetes, such as tablets, punch, capsules and other needs of the pharmaceutical industry, not including the food industry to manufacture a wide range of konjac food needs, but also does not include the fine chemical industry, the manufacture of advanced beauty cream, lotion, mask, mousse, toothpaste and other aspects The need for. According to Chinese and foreign experts predict that the annual demand for konjac gum (konjac glucomannan) market will reach 1 million tons.
Konjac oligomannose is from the mountains of pure natural green plants - konjac as raw materials, using the latest bioengineering technology to extract the highly functional oligosaccharides. No added chemical ingredients. Sugar molecules polymerization degree of 3 ~ 8, the total purity can be as high as 98%. Therefore, as a base material for functional foods, add less, will not change the original flavor of food. It can be widely used in milk, dairy products, beverages, pastries, chocolates, chewing gum and other fields.
