Konjac gum for food addtive
1.Description of konjac gum
Konjac is a kind of perennial herbage plant with low energy ,low protein,and high fiber,glucomannan is the main ingredient of konjac,konjac contains more than ten kinds of amino acid required by man body microelement and unsaturated fatty acid ,it is effective in tumor resisting,blood pressure descending,blood sugar descending and weight –losing.it also has some physical-chemical properties such as water-soluble,fresh-keeping,thickening,stablilization,suspensiom,gelling,binding ,it is not only one kind of natural food additive but also one kind of ideal assistant healthcare food,it is recommended by WHO as one of the best healthcare foods for human being in 21 century.

4.Applications of Konjac Gum:
KGM (konjac glucomannan) has many desirable physicochemical properties and so has
attracted attention and interest everywhere and has found applications in many fields:
In food industry, KGM is widely used as such food additives as emulsifying agent,
thickener, stabilizer, coagulant, suspending agent, packing agent and quality improver.
