organic konjac powder konjac glucomanna with dietary fiber
Product Description:
1. What is konjac and konjac powder?
Konjac, also termed as or Konjac glucomannan(KGM) or konyaku (konnyaku), konjak, Amorphophallus konjac, konjaku,
konnyaku potato,devil's tongue, voodoo lily, snake palm, elephant yam (paeoniifolius), shirataki.
Konjac belongs to perennial herbal plants of Araceae family, mainly grows in the moutainous regions (400-1500m above the sea level)
and is harvested once a year in October. China is the main production area and accounts for about 70% of the world's konjac production.
Konjac powder is got from konjac root by cleaning, peeling, cutting, drying and milling.
2. Advantages of konjac powder
| Cleaning label | Konjac powder is green and natural with clean label |
| High viscosity | Konjac gum has a viscosity of up to 40,000 millipascals · second (mPa.s) and water absorption of up to 40-100 times |
| Hydratability | Konjac powder has excellent hydration and does not degrade significantly even in ice water |
| Irreversible heat | Konjac powder can form a unique toughness of heat irreversible gel |
| Reversible heat | Konjac powder can also form a reversible gel system with carrageenan and xanthan gum |
| Nonionic colloid | Konjac powder belongs to non-ionic colloid. Compared to ionic colloid various ions, it has PH-Stability, Heat-Stability, Salt-Stability. |
3. Applications of konjac powder
konjac powder is usually used as food ingredients and additives such as thickner, stabilizers, nutritional supplements.
konjac gum can be used as food ingredients or additives in meat products, vegetarian food, Jelly sweet,cosmetic product,
health products and nutritional supplements,animal nutritions, Pharmaceuticals and biomaterials and so on.
It is widely used and becomes more and more popular. Many applictions will be developed in the future.

Konjac is the underground tuber of the perennial herb, belonging to the family Tenascus, its main component is the konjac glucomannan. Konjac belongs to the angiosperms, monocotyledons, is a perennial herb with a bulb, there are no less than 163 species of the genus Konjac with scientific names. The vast majority of konjac grows in the average temperature of 16 ℃, 800 m above sea level in subtropical mountainous or hilly areas.
China has recorded 30 species of konjac genus, there are eight kinds of konjac for both medicine and food, the most valuable research and development of konjac species are flower konjac and white konjac.
2. The difference of konjac powder and konjac gum in China:
Konjac flour and konjac gum is not a concept.
Konjac powder refers to the powder obtained by crushing the tubers of the konjac plant, divided into ordinary konjac powder, micronized konjac powder, purified konjac powder, among which purified konjac powder is the best, known as konjac gum. This is konjac gum.
The color of most of the konjac powder or konjac micronized powder is not very white, and some will have black and yellow dots, brewed out with many impurities, the color is cloudy and unclear.
In contrast, konjac gum is white, the dissolved liquid is very pure, without any precipitation and impurities.
Konjac powder or konjac micronized powder generally 45-120 mesh, much coarser than ordinary flour, the naked eye can see the coarser, while konjac gum is more than 120-200 mesh, the particles are very fine.
Konjac powder or konjac flour has a very strong fishy smell, while konjac gum has almost no smell, which is easy to distinguish after brewing, when tasting.
