China H&Z® Konjac Gum is a kind of pure natural hydrocolloids, Konjac Gum main ingredients is Konjac Glucommanan(KGM)with high purity of more than 85% on dry basis. White in color, fine in particle size, high viscosity and with no special smell of konjac, stable when dissolved in the water.Konjac Gum has the strongest viscosity among the plant -based water -soluble gelling agent. Fine particle size, fast solubility, high expand capability of 100 times of its weight, stable and nearly odorless.

Konjac Gum/Konjac glucomannan CAS NO:37220-17-0 description：
H&Z® Konjac Gum is derived from a plant, Amorphophallus konjac, grown in Asia.The main use area is meat sector and diet foods. You can see that dietary products such as noodles and rice, which are especially low in calories, are made with konjac flour.
It has a high viscosity (8000 - 36 000 cps) and varies according to the degree of purity. It is resistant to high temperatures (up to 200 degrees). Although the water dissolution increases with temperature, it is also soluble in cold water with good mixing. Some thickeners compete with each other in the environment and reduce the strength of the gel while others can increase the ability of water retention and gel-form.
Konjac gum is often used to increase the strength of other gums.It has a synergistic effect with other gums like Xanthan Gum, Guar Gum, etc.

Konjac gum Benefit/function:
1.Konjac gum can help Weight management–Glucomannan fills the stomach and slows the digestion process, which helps the consumer feel“full”for longer, reducing the urge for heavy meals or snacks.
2.Konjac gum can help control blood sugar level–By extending the time required to digest a meal, sugars and carbohydrates from other food intake are processed slower, which reduces spikes in blood sugar levels.
3.Konjac gum can reduce cholesterol–Glucomannan gel in the digestive system inhibits the absorption of lipids, such as LDL (bad cholesterol).
4.Konjac gum can regulate bowel movements–As with many food items that contain dietary fibres, glucomannan can help regulate bowel movements.
5.Konjac gum can protect liver and stomach.
