1. Reduces postprandial (after-meal) glycemia (slow release carbohydrate);
2. Improves diabetic control ( ADA:fiber supplement required for long-term diabetic control);
3. Lowers blood cholesterol (¡°drug like¡± effect ¨C19-29% lowering);
4. Lowers blood pressure (rarely seen with fiber);
5. Controls appetite and reduces body weight (4-fold multi-impact effect);
6. Increases sensitivity (treatment and prevention of syndrome ¨CX);
7. Improves syndrome-X (unique effects- presently no treatment available);
8. Control the resistant syndrome and the development of diabetes II;
9. Reducing heart disease.
1. Food industry:
It could be made out to gelling food, used as the food thickening agent and adherence agent such as the jelly ,ice cream, gruel, meat, flour food, solid drink, jam, etc.
2. Health care industry:
It does good at modulating lipid metabolism , declining serum triglyceride and cholesterol, improving sugar resistance, preventing diabetes, relieving constipation, producing no energy, preventing fatness ,modulating immunity function.
3. Chemical industry:
It could be applied to the chemical industry such as petroleum, dye printingcataplasm, terra film, diaper, medicine capsule, etc due to it's high viscidity, good fluidity and big molecular weight of 200,000 up to 2,000,000.
4. Applied in the chemical industry
Because the Konjac glucomannan average molecular weight of 200,000 up to 2,000,000 is so big,the viscidity is high, and the fluidity is good, it has been applied to the chemical industries such as petroleum, the dye printing cataplasm, the terra film, the diaper, the medicine capsule and so on.
