Molecular Weights of Konjac Mannans of Various Sources

Molecular Weight and Intrinsic Viscosity of Konjac Gluco-mannan

“…On the other hand, Sugiyama et al have reported the results of the light scattering measurements 2 ) for the aqueous solutions of native KGM, which was isolated by a method in which konjac flour washed with 50% ethanol was dissolved in water, centrifuged, dialyzed, and then lyophilized:) In their report, however, the viscosity measurement has not been made, perhaps owing to the fact that the stability of the solution was insufficient judging from the result of our close reexamination of their experiment.…”

Isolation and Characterization of Oligosaccharides from an Enzymic Hydrolysate of Konjac Glucomannan

“…5 ) The glucomannan had [ujn-45.9° (c=3.54, water) and appeared to be in the same order of purity as the previous sample.…”
