¡°Konjac gum¡± is a natural hydrophilic colloid with high purity, which is produced by fine subdividing top-grade konjac fine flour and purifying it with physical procedures. This product is free of alkaloid and has no discernable taste. The content of its major constituent, konjac glucomannan (KGM) ranges from 75% to 87%, or from 85% to 98% on dry weight basis. Compared with konjac fine flour, this product performs even better in purity, viscosity and transparent, and has finer particles (>120 mesh). It is more purely white in color and reacts more rapidly in dissolution and gum-formation. Owing to its outstanding physicochemical properties, this product is finding ever-widening applications in food, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, chemical, light, petroleum, textile printing and construction industries. It has a particularly large potential for development in the industries of food, pharmaceutics and cosmetics as a superior natural raw material of plant gums.
