Konjac Gum
Konjac Gum (E425, CAS:37220-17-0), also known as Konjac Glucomannan (KGM), is a natural water-soluble dietary fiber extracted from the corm of Amorphophallus konjac. It is a white or light yellow odorless fine powder with excellent thickening, gelling, water-holding and stabilizing properties, widely used as a natural food additive, pharmaceutical excipient and cosmetic raw material.
Our Konjac Gum is food & pharma grade, with customizable purity (85%-95%) and viscosity grades, fully compliant with JECFA, FCC, USP, EP, HALAL, KOSHER, ISO22000 standards. It is vegan, non-GMO, gluten-free, animal-free, perfect for low-calorie food, plant-based products, dietary supplements, oral medicine formulations and natural cosmetics. Stable batch quality, bulk factory price, complete COA & export documents available.

Core Benefits & Unique Gelling Mechanism
Konjac Gum is a high-molecular-weight polysaccharide composed of glucose and mannose units, with a unique β-1,4-glycosidic bond structure. It has strong water absorption capacity (can absorb 50-100 times its own weight of water) and can form a viscous colloidal solution when dissolved in water, which can further form a stable gel when compounded with other hydrocolloids (such as carrageenan, xanthan gum).
Unlike synthetic thickeners, Konjac Gum is a natural water-soluble dietary fiber, which not only improves the texture and stability of products, but also adds nutritional value to products, meeting the global demand for healthy, clean label food ingredients. It also has excellent heat stability and freeze-thaw resistance, suitable for various food processing processes.
- Ultra-high viscosity at low dosage (0.1%-0.5%), reduce production cost
- 100% vegan & plant-based, ideal for clean label and plant-based products
- Excellent water-holding capacity, prevent product dehydration and deformation
- Good compatibility, can be compounded with various hydrocolloids to adjust gel texture
- Heat and freeze-thaw stable, suitable for high-temperature sterilization and frozen food processing
- Rich in dietary fiber, add nutritional value to food and health products

Konjac Gum Extraction & Production Process
Full Manufacturing Steps
- Raw material selection: Select high-quality Amorphophallus konjac corms with high glucomannan content
- Cleaning & crushing: Remove impurities and crush the konjac corms into fine particles
- Extraction: Use water extraction method to extract glucomannan from konjac powder
- Purification: Remove protein, starch, ash and other impurities through filtration and centrifugation
- De-colorization & refining: Improve product whiteness and purity through activated carbon de-colorization
- Drying & grinding: Low-temperature spray drying or vacuum drying, then grind into uniform fine powder
- Screening & packaging: Classify by particle size, conduct quality testing, and seal in moisture-proof packaging
GMP closed production workshop, strict raw material control and impurity removal process, ensuring high glucomannan content, stable viscosity, low microbial counts, meeting food and pharma-grade raw material requirements and global regulatory standards.
