Konjac
Konjac is also called JURUO,which is a sort of Araceae perennial herb, has a long history of cultivation in the southwestern region and central and western regions of China. The main components of konjac is glucomannan (KGM), which is composed of glucose and mannose residues linked via β (1→4) glycosidic bond at a molecular ratio of 1:1.6. Glucomannan is a slightly branched polysaccharide having a molecular weight of 200,000 to 2000,000 daltons. It is a kind of food with a low calorie, low protein and high dietary fiber and contains more than ten kinds of amino acid and microelement required by human body, also has some physical-chemical properties such as water-soluble, thickening, stability, suspension, gelling, film, bonding. It is not only a natural healthy food but also a ideal food additive. Konjac is widely used in various fields, such as food industry, medicine industry, chemistry industry, environmental protection, daily chemicals and so on. It can especially be used as stabilizer, suspending agent, thickener, emulsifier in Europe and America food industries including meat, canned food, flour products manufacture. It is popular in Southeast Asia that Konjac Gum is used in Jelly and as a cooking supplement for soups and stewlike dishes. Nowadays, konjac is the best soluble dietary fiber that has been discovered, so it is proved being helpful for people’s health. Konjac Gum will be a food additive with great contribution for this century.
Konjac Gum & Konjac Powder
Konjac Gum, white color in appearance, evenly fine particle and granularity through 120 mesh - 200 mesh. Its characteristics are high viscosity, dissolved fast, high transparency, good uniformity and stability of aqueous solution, The coefficient of expansion is more than 100 times, without the konjac’s unique odor. By using Konjac fine powder as raw material and edible alcohol as carrier, the processing procedure adopts modern and advanced techniques to get rid of impurities like starch, ash, cellulose, pigment and alkaloids, thus to get the high-purity Glucomannan. Glucomannan is natural high-purity colloid, its dry base contents account for 80%-95% in the product, without using any chemical additive in the processing procedure, thus to ensure the quality and purity of the product.
Konjac Powder, milk white color in appearance, granularity through 100 mesh - 200 mesh and dissolved fast with the slight konjac odor. By using Konjac fine powder as raw material, its ash and impurities are purified and separated by grinding machinery thus to improve the transparency and solubility.
Our company develops different series of konjac gum for different markets:1. High transparent series. 2. Health food series. 3. Ordinary series.
