What is organic konjac flour?
Organic Konjac flour is a soluble dietary fiber that is similar to pectin in structure and function. konjac flour consists mainly of a hydrocolloidal polysaccharide, glucomannan. It is obtained from the tubers of various species of Amorphophallus. Glucomannan is composed of glucose and mannose subunits: inked with B-1, 4 linkages at a molar ratio of i .O 1 .6. It is a slightly branched polysaccharide having a molecular weight of 200,000 to 2,000,000 daltons. Acetyl groups along the glucomannan backbone contribute to solubility properties and are located, on average.
Konjac is a plant that is found in China, Japan, and Indonesia. The plant is part of the genus Amorphophallus. Typically, it thrives in the warmer regions of Asia. The extract of the Konjac root is referred to as Glucomannan. Glucomannan is a fiber-like substance traditionally used in food recipes, but now it is utilized as an alternative means of weight loss.
