Konjac is an herbal product that grows in parts of Sichuan,Yunnan in China.
It’s a tuber-like part of the stem that grows underground. Konjac is famous
starchy corm which is used to make a rich source of soluble dietary fiber.
The material mainly is Konjac glucomannan(KGM).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 β-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.
KGM service food industry as following function:Soluble Dietary , fiber source, Gelling
agent, Thickener, Stabilizer, Film former, Emulsifier.
Highly soluble in cold and hot water and forms a viscous sol in 20-30 minutes.
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)
A Konjac or Glucomannan work assimilates water in the stomach and digestive
tract to shape a massive fiber which helps in treating obstruction.
Secondly, it can also slow down the process of absorbing sugar and
cholesterol from the gut. And, it aids in controlling sugar levels,
cholesterol levels, and reduce diabetes.
Forms an extremely viscous solution,Has great
water-binding capabilities, Can form a reversible or a thermo-non-reversible
gel.
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.
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.

felt.

1.Mix konjac glucomannan flour and water and stir
well.
2.Import the mold and wait for cooking.
3.Cook for several hours to form.
4.Freeze treatment.
Konjac powder is blended with calcium hydroxide, warmed, solidified and then
it gets dried afterwards. The calcium yields an alkaline end product which
helps in balancing an overly acidic skin PH.
Konjac sponges are often dry, so become very hard to use for skin.
First, soak the sponge into the water around 5 minutes, and wait until it softens so you
don’t injure your skin. Splash your face with warm water, then squeeze a few drops of
cleanser directly onto the sponge. Give a gentle massage on your skin in circular
motions, especially on those areas that have blackheads or dry patches.
Rinse thoroughly after each use and hang by the attached cotton thread in a
well-ventilated area to dry. Repeat morning and night. Replace every 2-3 months.
