Effects of Konjac Glucomannan on Retrogradation of Amylose
The effect of konjac glucomannan (KGM) on the retrogradation of amylose was explored during storage. The color, rheological properties, texture, water-holding capacity (WHC), low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (LF-NMR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were investigated.

Xanthan Gum–Konjac Glucomannan Blend Hydrogel for Wound Healing [PDF]
Hydrogels are considered to be the most ideal materials for the production of wound dressings since they display a three-dimensional structure that mimics the native extracellular matrix of skin as well as a high-water content, which confers a moist environment at the wound site.

Beneficial health characteristics of native and hydrolysed konjac (Amorphophallus konjac) glucomannan [PDF]
AbstractThe impact of ingesting glucomannans on health is not limited to colonic‐focused fermentation into short‐chain fatty acids (SCFAs), which might have some local health benefits; it also helps in treating disease states and enhancing the body's immune system, both within the gut and in/on other parts of the body.

Encapsulation of butyrate using low-alkali konjac gel induced by ethanol for colonic delivery
Butyrate administrated in proper concentration is beneficial to the human colon environment. However, the delivery of butyrate to the colon is quite difficult as butyrate could be easily absorbed in the upper gastrointestinal tract.
