Research Progress on Food Processing Properties of Konjac Glucomannan
Konjac glucomannan(KGM),a natural polymeric polysaccharide with good bioactivity,is suitable as a raw mate-rial for healthy food and has many applications in the food industry due to its particle properties,hydrophilicity,gelation,film formation,thickening,etc.The properties of KGM are improved to different degrees after compounding or modification,and KGM can meet the needs of various food processing methods,expanding its application.After compounding or modification,the properties of KGM improved to different degrees,possibly meeting the needs of diverse food processing methods,ex-panding the application fields of KGM,and becoming the focus of related research.In this article,the chemical composition and food processing properties of KGMs are summarized to provide a reference for the related research and application of KGMs.
