Konjac Gum (Glucomannan 90%) (YZ-J-25) by Yizhi Konjac

Konjac Gum (Glucomannan 90%) (YZ-J-25) is a premium hydrocolloid sourced from the root of the konjac plant (Amorphophallus konjac) and is plant-based. Standardized to about ≥90% glucomannan, it acts as an adaptable source of soluble dietary fiber with excellent thickening and water retention abilities. Presented as a smooth, off-white, easily flowing powder, it is intended for uniform handling, effective mixing, and dependable effectiveness in both food and non-food applications. This economical grade is ideal for extensive usage in the food, nutraceutical, and industrial sectors.

Konjac glucomannan is effectively recognized for its roles as a thickening agent, gelling agent, and stabilizer that enhances the texture, viscosity, and overall stability of formulations. It is frequently found in processed foods, vegan and plant-based items, dietary fiber supplements, functional drinks, and meat substitutes. It works effectively alongside other hydrocolloids like xanthan gum or carrageenan, where it improves gel structure and enhances product mouthfeel in more intricate systems.

This component is obtained by means of regulated extraction and purification of konjac root, complemented by drying and milling to ensure uniform particle size and composition. Production is conducted under recognized GMP and ISO-certified quality protocols to ensure safety, uniformity, and adherence to international compliance standards. Every batch generally comes with technical documentation, including a certificate of analysis and a safety data sheet, which aids in quality assurance for both B2B manufacturers and formulators of finished products.
