Description
The micronized particle-size format of Acid-Resistant Konjac, with particles passing 200 mesh or finer. Combines the acid-stability of modified Konjac with rapid hydration kinetics suitable for instant beverage powder applications.
Off-white free-flowing fine powder. Hydrates in cold water within 60 seconds while maintaining stability across the full pH 3.5 to 9.0 range.
We supply food-grade Acid-Resistant Konjac Micro-Powder from manufacturers in China holding ISO, Halal, Kosher and other certifications relevant to the product and production.
Common market grades include Standard Micro-Powder (200 mesh), Ultra-Fine Micro-Powder (300 mesh, for premium clear-beverage applications), and pre-blended Micro-Powder with Xanthan systems for instant acidic-beverage applications.
Bulk and reduced-MOQ shipments. Batch-level COA covering glucomannan content, viscosity, particle size distribution, hydration time, heavy metals, and microbiology.
Introduction
This SKU combines two specialty modifications of Konjac Gum: the acid-resistance modification of catalog id 26136 with additional micronization that produces 200-mesh or finer particles for rapid hydration.
Production starts with acid-resistant Konjac Gum, then passes the powder through fine-grinding mills with classification screens to yield uniform micronized particles. The micronized format hydrates 5 to 10 times faster than standard-mesh Konjac while retaining the acid-stability of the parent product.
Regulatory status follows that of standard Konjac and acid-resistant Konjac (E425 in the EU, GRAS in the U.S., JECFA-approved without ADI limit).
The molecule's functional behavior matches acid-resistant Konjac at full hydration. The differentiator is hydration time: micronization brings hydration into the 30 to 60 second range required for instant beverage applications.
Strategic positioning serves the instant acidic-beverage market specifically, where consumer or end-user mixing time is constrained and where Konjac's natural-positioning and fiber-content advantages over xanthan or carrageenan-iota-high-purity" class="underline" style="color: var(--sage-deep); text-decoration-color: var(--sage-deep);">carrageenan are commercially valuable. The price premium over standard Konjac is substantial, limiting use to applications where both attributes (speed and acid-stability) are required.
