Sobre este ingrediente
Standardised glucomannan polysaccharide extracted from konjac corm — distinct from the 'konnyaku-ceramide' (cosmetic ceramide) entry. Glucomannan is a soluble dietary fibre with FDA-recognised structure-function claims for blood-glucose moderation and weight-management positioning. Gunma's >90% konjac monopoly (existing in konnyaku-ceramide entry) underlies the supply chain. Used in shirataki / konnyaku noodle (Japanese low-calorie alternative), as a dietary supplement, and increasingly in plant-based meat-alternative as a binder. Distinct from existing entries.
