Thermo-irreversible Gelling of Konjac GUM
*Long history of konjac Gum Consumption
*More mature in production application technology, Wide range of application
Sodium alginate and calcium salt form gelling, but the reaction is rapid, extremely difficult to control, the gel is brittle, poor elasticity; CMC stability is greatly affected by temperature, need high temperature gel, very inconvenient to use; Kotran gum gel poor water retention capacity, only 25 times the water can be absorbed.
Konjac gum can form thermally irreversible gels under alkaline heating condition, which is the unique property that is difficult to match with many other gels;
The production is simple to handle, which has a good gel structure and is widely used in vegetarian products and other products .
