Fresh Konjac contains an average of 13% dry matter and 64% of the dry matter is glucomannan. Glucomannan is a type of soluble dietary fiber. Soluble fibers attract water and form a gel, which slows down digestion. It can delay the emptying of your stomach and makes you feel full, which helps in weight control. Slower emptying of the stomach may also affect blood sugar levels and have a beneficial effect ion insulin sensitivity. Konjac can also help lower LDL (“bad”) blood cholesterol by interfering with the absorption of dietary cholesterol. Various types of jelly, pudding and fat-free confectioneries can be made by adopting different concentrations of the compound gum and adjusting to different pH values. view less |
