Why use Glucomannan powder?
Glucomannan is a soluble fibre, a polysaccharide with a particular chemical structure that is very rare in the Western diet and with the extraordinary ability to attract water.
Glucomannan as a source of fibre
There are many sources of fibre, but it is usually recommended to increase fibre intake through the inclusion of wheat bran, which is the general wild card.
However, glucomannan has technological properties, thanks to its chemical structure and fibre content:
- Molecular weight: Glucomannan has a molecular mass of 200-2000 kilodaltons depending on its degree of polymerisation.
- Viscosity: Glucomannan, when hydrated in the stomach, forms a gelatinous mass.
