Glucomannan is a high-molecular-weight, water-soluble polysaccharide obtained from the tubers of the Amorphophallus konjac plant. This unique hydrocolloid is considered one of the most effective natural thickeners in the world, surpassing xanthan gum and starches in viscosity. Professionally, it is also known as konjac mannan or food additive E425(ii).
If you are looking to buy high-quality glucomannan for food production, pharmaceuticals, or cosmetics, this product is the ideal choice. Konjac glucomannan has an exceptional ability to absorb moisture, expanding in volume up to 200 times, making it an indispensable texturizer and stabilizer. In our store, the price for glucomannan is based on direct wholesale deliveries, which guarantees favorable terms for B2B customers.

Detailed description and benefits
What is glucomannan from a technological point of view? This is a natural fiber that forms a viscous pseudoplastic solution when in contact with water. Glucomannan polysaccharide is valued by technologists for its synergy: when mixed with kappa-carrageenan or xanthan gum, it forms thermoreversible, elastic gels of high strength.
Advantages of our raw materials (Glucomannan powder 95%):
- High viscosity: Ensures economical consumption compared to similar products. Konjac glucomannan creates a stable structure even at low dosages.
- Purity of composition: We offer a product with an active substance content of at least 95%, without starch impurities typical of low-grade raw materials.
- Dietary Value: Konjac glucomannan root is a zero-calorie source of fiber, making it suitable for use in healthy foods (Keto, Low Carb).

- Versatility: Suitable for vegan, gluten-free, and hypoallergenic recipes. li>
If your search is "buy glucomannan wholesale for stabilizing emulsions or creating dense jellies," this product will fully meet your production needs.
Applications
The raw material is actively used in three key industries:
1. Food industry (E425):
- Production of low-calorie noodles (Shirataki) and pasta.
- As a thickener in sauces, mayonnaise, jams, and yogurts.
- In the meat industry (sausages, hot dogs) to retain moisture and replace fats.
- Confectionery: chewing gum, jellies. Konjac mannan provides a "short" texture and prevents syneresis (moisture loss).
2. Cosmetology:Glucomannan in cosmetics is a powerful moisturizing agent. Its properties are comparable to hyaluronic acid.
- Konjac glucomannan forms a thin film on the skin that retains moisture.
- It is used in creams, shower gels, face masks, and scrubs.
- It acts as a soft gelling agent and sensory agent, improving the tactile sensation of the product.
3. Pharmaceuticals and dietary supplements: The search query "glucomannan for weight loss" is widely known. Due to its ability to swell significantly in the stomach, konjac glucomannan creates a feeling of fullness, which is why it is used in weight management capsules and cholesterol-lowering medications.
Storage Conditions and Safety
- Shelf Life: 2 years from the date of manufacture (under proper storage conditions).
- Conditions: Store in a tightly sealed original container in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight and high humidity (the powder is hygroscopic).
- Safety: The product is safe, does not contain GMOs, and does not contain any allergens. When working with powder, it is recommended to use a respirator to avoid inhaling fine dust.
