[Introduction]

Konjac is a plant that is found in China, Japan and Indonesia. The plant is part of the genus Amorphophallus. Typically, it thrives in the warmer regions of Asia.

The extract of the Konjac root is referred to as Glucomannan. Glucomannan is a fiber-like substance traditionally used in food recipes, but now it is utilized as an alternative means of weight loss. Along with this benefit, konjac extract contains other benefits for the rest of the body as well.

The main material of the natural konjac gum is fresh konjac, which grow in virgin forest in Hubei area. We use advanced method to distill the KGM, aminophenol, Ca, Fe, Se which are good for health. Konjac is known as“ the seventh nutriment for human”.

Konjac Gum with its special water holiding capacity, stability, emulsibility, thickening property,suspension property and gel propery can especially adopted in food industry.

[Main Function]

1.It could reduce postprandial glycemia, blood cholesterol and blood pressure.

2.It could control appetite and reduce body weight.

3.It could increase insulin sensitivity.
4.It could control insulin resistant syndrome and diabetesII development.
5.It could reduce heart disease.

[Application]

1) Gelatinizer(jelly, pudding, Cheese, soft candy, jam );

2) Stabilizer(meat, beer);

3) Film Former(capsule, preservative)

4) Water-keeping agent( Baked Foodstuff );

5) Thickener (Konjac Noodles, Konjac Stick, Konjac Slice, Konjac Imitating Food stuff);

6) Adherence agent( Surimi );

7) Foam Stabilizer (ice cream, cream, beer)

Biofuel production from woody biomass through the sugar platform requires efficient production of fermentable sugars either chemically and enzymatically by hydrolyzing polysaccharides in wood cell walls. Enzymatic sugar production is a mature technology that can produce high quality sugars but requires a pretreatment step to open wood cell wall structure to improve its accessibility to enzymes, because nature produces wood as a structural material that is not easily accessible to most microbes to deconstruct into basic building blocks such as simple sugars. Unfortunately, pretreatment is the most expensive step in biofuel production through enzymatic saccharification and fermentation. This is especially true for woody biomass due to its high lignin content and strong physical integrity. Pretreatment softwood and harvest softwood forest residue, the feedstock NARA project proposed to use, is even more difficult. Most existing pretreatment processes cannot produce good enzymatic digestibility from softwood. In this webinar, I will outline the basic principles of pretreatment, its limitations, and its effect on downstream co-product development. Especially, I will discuss the SPORL pretreatment NARA adopted for bio-jet fuel production, its versatility, performance, kinetics based process scale-up, and lignin co-product.

Throw away the pumpkin seeds, it is what most people do.

The medicinal use of pumpkin seeds (pumpkin or, in some regions of Brazil) is common in many people, like the Chinese, whose ancient medicine is one of the wisest and effective.

Recipe for prostate problems Cook 150 grams of pumpkin seeds whole (fresh and raw, without peel) in 1 liter of filtered water for 20 minutes on low heat. Allow to cool and transfer to a bottle or wide mouth container.

It is not necessary to strain because the seeds remain in the background, and can be thrown away after total cooling. Take one cup of this water three times throughout the day.

- Eliminates worm, due to cucurbitacin. For single dose treatment, it is an indication of 100 to 150 grams (children) and 200 to 250 grams (adults) under fasting conditions.

Now note the pumpkin seed syrup recipe for asthma, cough and bronchitis

Take 1 teaspoon (tsp) 5 times a day. It can be eaten by children over 2 years, but the dose should be reduced to half in the age range of 2 to 7 years.

Pumpkin seed flour recipe for cholesterol, triglycerides, diabetes and constipation
