Glucomannan

What is Glucomannan?

Glucomannan is high in fiber, essential for cleaning the digestive system. Glucomannan is taken from the Konnyaku root and is from the same family as the yam, which is 100 percent natural dietary fiber without calories. 
Since lack of fiber is a major cause for the high incidence of growing gastrointestinal disorders, it is a valuable herb.

It helps reduce cholesterol, helps maintain regularity and promotes bowel health. It helps to normalize blood sugar, to relieve stress on the pancreas and to discourage blood sugar abnormalities, such as hypoglycemia.

Glucomannan absorbs toxic substances produced during digestion and elimination. It binds toxic material and eliminates them before they can be absorbed into the blood stream.
About Konjac glucomannan (KGM)
Konjac glucomannan (KGM) is a water-soluble dietary fiber that is similar to pectin in structure and function.
KGM is a high molecular polysaccharide, is formed when the residues of glucose and mannose are bound together by ß-1, 4-linkages, the molar ratio of glucose and mannose is 1:1,6. Acetyl groups are located on every 9-19th sugar unit. These acetyl groups contribute to the solubility and gelling properties. If the acetyl groups are removed under mild alkaline conditions, the molecule will produce heat stable gels.
The molecular weight of KGM from 200,000 to 2,000,000 varied by konjac species or variety, processing method and even storage time of the raw material.

Konjac Glucomannan(KGM) unique functions: 

Forms an extremely viscous solution 
Has great water-binding capabilities 
Can form a reversible or a thermo-non-reversible gel 
General function

Highly soluble in cold and hot water and forms a viscous sol in 20-30 minutes. 
Gels with mild alkali  
Heat stable gelation 
Interaction with starch 
Synergism with kappa carrageenan, xanthan gum and LBG 
Stable at low pH 
Konjac powder has the highest molecular weight and strongest viscosity among any dietary fiber known to science. (Molecular weight between 200,000-2,000,000 Daltons)


It is capable of absorbing up to 50 times its weight in water and creates a highly viscous gel from 20,000 to 40,000 cp.
