Description
A purified Konjac glucomannan with reduced impurity profile and elevated transparency in finished gel and solution applications. Used where the standard cream-color of Konjac would be visible in clear-beverage or transparent-gel applications.
Off-white free-flowing fine powder. Produces solutions and gels with significantly higher transparency than standard Konjac, supporting use in premium clear beverages and decorative gel applications.
We supply food-grade High-Transparency Konjac Gum from manufacturers in China holding ISO, Halal, Kosher and other certifications relevant to the product and production.
Common market grades include Standard High-Transparency Konjac (the workhorse for clear beverage applications), Premium High-Transparency Konjac with even tighter color tolerances, and pre-blended systems with carrageenan-iota-high-purity" class="underline" style="color: var(--sage-deep); text-decoration-color: var(--sage-deep);">carrageenan or xanthan for engineered clear-gel applications.
Bulk and reduced-MOQ shipments. Batch-level COA covering glucomannan content, transmittance, viscosity, particle size, sulphur dioxide, heavy metals, and microbiology.
Introduction
This SKU is the premium-clarity variant of Konjac Gum, distinct from standard Konjac (catalog id 7528) by additional purification that removes the protein, starch, and pigment impurities responsible for the cream-color appearance of conventional Konjac in solution.
Production starts with standard high-glucomannan Konjac powder, then proceeds through additional alcohol washing and chromatographic purification cycles to remove impurities. The resulting product is chemically identical to standard Konjac at the polymer level, with the differentiator being purity and visual clarity.
Regulatory status follows that of standard Konjac (E425 in the EU, GRAS in the U.S., JECFA-approved without ADI limit), with the same restrictions on jelly mini-cup applications.
The molecule's functional behavior matches standard Konjac in viscosity, gel formation, and water-binding capacity. The differentiator is finished-product transparency: high-transparency Konjac produces solutions with 95 percent or higher transmittance versus 75 to 85 percent for standard Konjac.
Strategic positioning serves premium clear-beverage applications and decorative gel uses where the visual difference between high-transparency and standard Konjac is commercially significant. Cost is meaningfully higher than standard Konjac, limiting use to premium-positioning applications where transparency justifies the cost premium.
Where it is used
- Premium clear functional beverages requiring fiber and viscosity without color contribution
- Decorative clear gel applications: clear gummies, clear jellies, and transparent dessert gels
- Premium plant-based beverages: clear oat-water and clear coconut-water style drinks
- Premium pharmaceutical clear oral suspensions
- Cosmetic clear gel masks and transparent skincare products
- Specialty Asian beverage applications including clear traditional herbal drinks
- Functional shots and wellness drinks where visual clarity matters for premium positioning
