Konjac Gum

Konjac Gum is a low calorie, low protein, high dietary fiber foods and rich in the human body needs a dozen amino acids and trace elements. Hypertension, obesity, diabetes, constipation, a certain effect, the prevention of colon cancer. Also has a water-soluble, thickening, stability, suspension, gel, film, bonding and other physical and chemical properties. Konjac Gum in the active ingredient glucomannan (KGM) not only as a food additive used in food processing, is still agriculture, medicine and other industries have an important role.

About Konjac Gum

Konjac Gum main component is Portuguese dew, chitosan is a low-calorie, low protein, high dietary fiber of food, and the rich of the human body needs more than 10 kinds of amino acids and trace elements, E425 as functional food, to hypertension, obesity, diabetes, constipation, Konjac Gum have certain curative effect, E425 can poison the toxin in the body and garbage, prevent colon cancer. E425 Also has water soluble, thickening, stability, suspension, gel, into film, bond, etc DuoZhong physical and chemical properties, E425 thus become a natural health food is the ideal food additive.

Konjac Gum applications in food processing:
Konjac Gum has hydrophilic, thickening sex, stability, emulsification, suspended sex, gelatin and into the membranous, etc DuoZhong characteristics, can produce all kinds of food additives, Konjac Gum is widely used in food industry. Used for ice cream stabilizer, make smooth exquisite taste; As cookies, cakes and baking food additives, make product appearance smooth, quality of a material is loose; Can increase the intensity, increase line noodles toughness; Konjac Gum As the beer foam stabilizer, a cup of tiny bubbles after even, hang cup; long time Konjac Gum-E425 As a fruit juice and wine clarification agent; Konjac Gum As food BaoXianJi, can restrain a sexual reproduction of oxygen, and extend the microbial eggs, meat, fish, fruits, and vegetables last period.

Use the KGM Konjac Gum become film sex,Konjac Gum can produce the capsule. Use microcapsule techniques of the product turn out to protect folded buried the particles materials with other components, avoid its adverse reactions happen, and to make the bad environmental factors and outside completely cut off, the material in keeping the original color, aroma, taste and at the same time, reduce the deterioration loss or extend the quality and time, improve the product quality, make some not easy storage or processing of materials, and became stable liquidity good solid expanded the range of use, E425 simplify the production process.
