Glucomannan is a water-soluble polysaccharide that is considered a dietary fiber.It is a hemicellulose component in the cell walls of some plant species. Glucomannan is a food additive used as an emulsifier and thickener.lucomannan is mainly a straight-chain polymer, with a small amount of branching. The component sugars are Î²-(1â4)-linked D-mannose and D-glucose in a ratio of 1.6:1. The degree of branching is about 8% through Î²-(1â6)-glucosyl linkages.
Glucomannan comes from the konjac plant (Amorphophallus konjac), specifically the plantâs root. The plant is native to warm, subtropical to tropical eastern Asia, from Japan and China south to Indonesia. The edible part of the konjac plant is the root or corm, from which glucomannan powder is derived.
