こんにゃくグルコマンナン (こんにゃくグルコマンナン)

Gunma's konjac monopoly; glucomannan extraction methodology developed in Japan; FFC notifications support metabolic / weight-management positioning.
Glucomannan 80-95% in standardised powder; viscosity in water elevated; soluble dietary fibre 100% of dry weight; calorie negligible.
Shirataki / konnyaku noodle export, weight-management supplements, plant-based meat binder.
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.
