Hypoglycemic and antioxidant properties of konjac ( Amorphophallus konjac ) in vitro and in vivo
Journal of Food Biochemistry, 2020The aim of this study was to evaluate the hypoglycemic and antioxidant potential of konjac in vitro and in vivo. Glucose diffusion and enzymatic starch digestion of konjac were assayed using α-amylase and α-glucosidase. Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and oral starch tolerance test (OSTT) were performed at dose of 102 mg/Kg of body weight ...

Konjac glucomannan, a promising polysaccharide of Amorphophallus konjac K. Koch in health care
International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 2016In recent year, konjac glucomannan (KGM) has attracted more attention due to its non-harmful and non-toxic properties, good biocompatibility, biodegradability and hydrophilic ability. Moreover, KGM and their derivatives have several importances in the multidirectional research areas such as nutritional, biotechnological and fine chemical fields. In the

Obesity Medicine, 2021
Abstract This review outlines the positive effects of konjac (Amorphophallus konjac K. Koch) and it polysaccharide glucomannan on human health, on fat metabolism and obesity. The available data demonstrate, that both konjac and glucomannan can reduce fat storage via several extra- and intracellular mechanisms.

Variations of Konjac glucomannan (KGM) from Amorphophallus konjac and its refined powder in China
Food Hydrocolloids, 2004Abstract Konjac glucomannan (KGM) is a water-soluble dietary fiber extracted from tubers of Amorphophallus konjac native to China. It has a low caloric content and is a soluble dietary fiber, used in foods and medicine ingredients. This paper reports changes of KGM from Amorphophallus konjac native in the southern part of China to KGM obtained in

Carbohydrate Polymers, 2012
Abstract Here we present a comparison of commonly used methodologies for the extraction and quantification of konjac glucomannan (KGM). Compositional analysis showed that the purified konjac flour (PKF) produced using a modified extraction procedure contained 92% glucomannan, with a weight average molecular weight ( M w ), polydispersity index (PDI)

Amorphophallus konjacanthracnose caused byColletotrichum siamensein China
Journal of Applied Microbiology, 2019Amorphophallus konjac is an important commercial crop grown in China because it is the only plant species which is rich in glucomannan concentration. Recently, an outbreak of anthracnose (incidence ranging from 10-15%) was observed in a field survey conducted from June to August 2018. This study aims to identify the causal agent of A.

Effect of Amorphophallus Konjac oligosaccharides on STZ-induced diabetes model of isolated islets
Life Sciences, 2002Three oligosaccharide fractions from the root of Amorphophallus Konjac, which was reported with hypoglycemic effects on diabetes subjects, were isolated and studied using the STZ-treated diabetes model. Among them, one fraction named as KOS-A, was found with nitric oxide (NO(*)) free radical regulation effect, while the other two were not.
