Konjac Extract

Konjac Extract is obtained from the tubers of Amorphophallus konjac, a perennial plant native to Asia and widely cultivated in China and Japan. For centuries, konjac has been valued in traditional Asian diets as both a health food and a culinary ingredient, used to make konjac noodles, jellies, and functional foods.

The extract is standardized to glucomannan, a natural water-soluble dietary fiber known for its strong swelling and gelling properties. Glucomannan absorbs water and expands in the stomach, which promotes satiety, helps reduce calorie intake, and supports weight management. It also contributes to maintaining healthy blood sugar and cholesterol levels by slowing carbohydrate absorption and binding bile acids.

Commercial production involves careful cleaning, drying, and milling of konjac tubers, followed by extraction and purification to achieve high glucomannan concentration. The resulting extract is a fine white to off-white powder, highly water-soluble, and stable under proper storage. It is widely used in nutraceuticals, weight management products, functional foods, and dietary fiber supplements.
