Abstract
Konjac is a perennial herbaceous plant from the Araceae family's Amorphophallus genus. It has high nutritional, health, and pharmacological values. It contains various bioactive components, the most notable of which is konjac glucomannan, which has several biological roles, including efficiently fighting diabetes, exerting prebiotic activity, containing antioxidant capacity, modulating immunological function, and demonstrating anti-cancer potential. Currently, the konjac glucomannan (KGM) research mainly focuses on packaging film, gel characteristics, efficacy, and evaluation. However, the extraction, underlying portrayal, derivatization, and action of KGM are seldom detailed. Herein, the utilization of konjac as an unrefined substance was surveyed, meaning to give extensive and orderly recombinant data on the extraction, decontamination, structure, natural movement, derivatization, and use of KGM to provide a full play to the interesting gelatinate, biocompatibility, high viscosity and other properties of KGM. It provided a theoretical basis for further developing the konjac glucomannan food industry, pharmaceutical field, and other fields.
