SAIGEL™ Konjac Gum (Konjac Glucomannan / E425)
Nature’s most powerful soluble fiber. Clean-label, multifunctional performance.
Konjac is a natural hydrocolloid derived from the tuber of Amorphophallus konjac. It is composed mainly of glucomannan, a water-soluble dietary fiber known for its exceptional thickening, gelling, and film-forming properties. Widely used across food, nutraceutical, and personal care industries, Konjac offers superior viscosity control, excellent water-binding, and clean-label functionality. It is particularly valued for calorie reduction, texture enhancement, and health-related benefits such as digestive support.
