A certain number of acetyl groups, glucose and mannose molecular ratio of 1:1.5-1.7, molecular weight can be as high as 106 Daltons, high viscosity, soluble in water, swelling degree in water, has a specific biological activity. These characteristics determine that konjac polysaccharide has a variety of uses. In addition to medicine, konjac polysaccharide has a wide range of uses in textiles, printing and dyeing, makeup, ceramics, fire protection, environmental protection, military industry, and oil extraction. In addition, during the processing of konjac flour, 30%-40% of fly powder is produced.
