It is a kind of food with a low heat, low protein and high fiber and contains more than ten kinds of amino acid and microelement required by human body, also has some physical-chemical properties such as water-soluble, thickening, stability, suspension, gelling, film, bonding. It is not only a natural healthy food but also a ideal Food Additive. Konjac is widely used in various fields, such as food industry, medicine industry, chemistry industry, environmental protection, daily chemicals and so on. It can especially be used as stabilizer, suspending agent, thickener, emulsifier in Europe and America food industries including meat, canned food, flour products manufacture.
