Konjac powder is a soluble fiber that is gluten-free and wheat-free. It is obtained from the tuber of the perennial plant Amorphophallus konjac K.Koch. The main component of konjac powder is the water-soluble high molecular-weight polysaccharide glucomannan, which consists of D-mannose and D-glucose units at a molar ratio of 1,6:1,0. Konjac powder is available in the form of a white powder that is free-flowing and odorless. The physical and chemical specifications of konjac powder include appearance, particle size, glucomannan content, viscosity, purity, loss on drying, and starch content.

Konjac (or konjak, English: k/ KON-yak, KON-jak) is a common name of the East and Southeast Asian plant Amorphophallus konjac (syn. A. rivieri), which has an edible corm (bulbo-tuber). It is also known as konjaku, konnyaku potato, devil's tongue, voodoo lily, snake palm, or elephant yam (though this name is also used for A. paeoniifolius).
The food made from the corm of this plant is widely known in English by its Japanese name, konnyaku (yam cake), being cooked and consumed primarily in Japan and Korea. The two basic types of cake are white and black. Noodles made from konnyaku are called shirataki. The corm of the konjac is often colloquially referred to as a yam, though it is not related to tubers of the family Dioscoreaceae.
HEALTH CLAIMS
The dried corm of the konjac plant contains around 40% glucomannan gum. This polysaccharide makes konjac jelly highly viscous and may be responsible for many of its putative health benefits as used in traditional Chinese medicine, detoxification, tumour-suppression, blood stasis alleviation and phlegm liquefaction.[7] The dietary fiber from the corm of konjac is used as a component of weight loss supplements
Other uses
Konjac can also be used for facial massage accessories, which are currently popular in Korea and gaining popularity in the West. Most commonly this is through the use of a konjac sponge, which is unique in that it can be used on sensitive skin that may become easily irritated with more common exfoliating tools (such as loofahs or washcloths).
In traditional hand papermaking in Japan, konnyaku imparts strength to paper for dyeing, rubbing, folding and other manipulations, such as momigami.
