Abstract

Abstract:

In this study, microwave heating was used for the dry preparation of carboxymethyl konjac glucomannan (CMK) and its properties were also investigated. The effects of konjac glucomannan (KGM) -to-chloroacetic acid molar ratio, konjac glucomannan-to-sodium hydroxide molar ratio, microwave heating time and temperature on the degree of substitution (DS) were studied in the single factor experiments. Based on these studies, the optimal values of chloroacetic acid/KGM/sodium hydroxide molar ratio and reaction temperature and time determined by orthogonal array design to be 1.1: 1: 2.5, 75 ℃ and 8 min, respectively. Under these optimal reaction conditions, the maximum DS was up to 0.48. The final product obtained exhibited high solubility in water, excellent transparency and good stability. In addition, increasing DS resulted in higher water-absorbing and water-holding capacities.

Key words: microwave, carboxymethyl konjac glucomannan, water-absorbing capacity, water-holding capacity
