A Review on Konjac Glucomannan Gels: Microstructure and Application

Abstract: Konjac glucomannan (KGM) has attracted extensive attention because of its biodegradable, non-toxic, harmless, and biocompatible features. Its gelation performance is one of its most significant characteristics and enables wide applications of KGM gels in food, chemical, pharmaceutical, materials, and other fields. Herein, different preparation methods of KGM gels and their microstructures were reviewed. In addition, KGM applications have been theoretically modeled for future uses.

“…The results obtained in the MTT assay ( Figure 6A) showed that fibroblast cell viability was not compromised during the 24 h and 72 h that cells were in contact with XG/KGM hydrogels. Such results were expected since the biocompatibility of XG and KGM-based hydrogels was previously reported in the literature [55][56][57].…”

“…[10][11][12] Therefore, KGM was used as an additive in surimi products to enhance the quality of surimi. [13][14][15] The KGM degradation product, which was obtained by g-irradiation with a 100 kGy dosage of 60 Co, interacted with Tilapia myobrillar proteins and prevented the network structure of gels from deterioration. 16 Liu et al (2017) suggested that konjac oligoglucomannan (KOG) had a positive effect on the conformational and functional properties of myosin.…”

“…for glucomannan production, a kind of low digestive and neutral carbohydrate that applicable to be used in food, beverage, pharmacy and other strategic industries (Haryani and Hargono, 2008;Sugiyama and Santosa, 2008;Keithley et al, 2013;Hananto et al, 2015;Dai et al, 2016;Yang et al, 2017). From 100 g dried chips, about 20-31 g pure glucomannan is obtained depend on extraction method (Dwiyono, 2014;Widjanarko and Suwasito, 2014).…”
