Changzhou Yimin Drying Equipment Co., Ltd

Konjac is an Amorpophallus plant and its tubers contain protein, ash, glucomannan, and moisture. The fresh konjac tuber contains an average of 13% dry matter, 64% of the dry matter is glucomannan and 30% is starch. By removing the starch to create a concentrate, glucomannan is produced. Konjac powder, Konjac flour, and Glucomannan are obtained from Konjac dry chips. The production of Konjac dry chips is an important process because the quality of Konjac powder is determined from the raw material. At present, we have substituted the traditional processing method for an advanced non-deterioration technological process so that a highly pure Konjac powder is obtained. Glucomannan is produced from Konjac powder. Glucomannan is a water-soluble dietary “FIBER” that can absorb up to 200 times its weight of water and create a highly viscous gel from 20,000 to 40,000 cps. Several studies have pointed out the Konjac products’ tremendous benefits to human health, and it could be used in natural food, food additives and medicine, as well as in other industries such as chemicals and petroleum. Below are highlights of Konjac and Glucomannan’s applications in various areas:

Food Industry – food and bakery ingredients, sausage, pasta, dressing, ice cream, yogurt and beverage.

Functional Health Food – weight control, cholesterol control, and prevent Type II diabetes and constipation.

Pharmaceuticals – vegetarian capsules, tablets and slow release agent.

Glucomannan is a water soluble dietary fiber with molecular weight between 200,000 – 2,000,000 Daltons. Glucomannan is a polysaccharide comprising mainly D-glucose and D-mannose bonded together in β (beta) -1,4 linkages .Glucomannan can absorb up to 200 times its weight of water and also forms a highly viscous gel from 20,000 to 40,000 cps. The gel can be either reversible or thermo-non-reversible.

our drying machine could not only dry the konjac powder, but also konjac itself.
