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.
