Formation of high amylose corn starch/konjac glucomannan composite film with improved mechanical and barrier properties

Yiyuan Zou et al.

Summary: The addition of konjac glucomannan significantly improved the film-forming ability and physicochemical properties of high amylose corn starch film, with increased crystallinity and proportion of short-range order structure in the films before eventually declining. The micro morphology of the films became more uniform after the incorporation of konjac glucomannan.

Emulsified blend film based on konjac glucomannan/carrageenan/camellia oil: Physical, structural, and water barrier properties

Xi Zhou et al.

Summary: This study aimed to develop a new hydrophobic film based on konjac glucomannan and kappa-carrageenan by incorporating camellia oil. The addition of camellia oil through emulsification improved the hydrophobicity, water-resistance, thermal stability, optical properties, and mechanical properties of the film. Emulsifying camellia oil is an effective and promising method to enhance the properties of polysaccharide-based films.

Konjac glucomannan molecular and rheological properties that delay gastric emptying and improve the regulation of appetite

Liping Guo et al.

Summary: Konjac glucomannan (KGM) has shown potential in reducing appetite and obesity through increasing gastric retention and delaying gastric emptying, triggering signals of fullness. However, results of randomized clinical trials have been inconsistent, possibly due to various factors such as dose, study duration, participant selection, and the lack of description of KGM's molecular structure and hydration properties.
