Abstract: Konjac Glucomannan was denatured by Carboxyl Methyl. The solubility and film-forming properties were allimproved apparently. It can be used as capsule materials. By orthogonal experiment, the optimum conditions of denaturing ascapsule material is determined. They are 6g Konjac Glucomannan, 6g Chloroacetic acid, 1.2g Potassium iodide,70℃ and 4h. Thephysical and chemical properties of denatured Konjac Glucomannan were researched.

Key words: konjac glucomannan, carboxyl methy, denatured, capsule materials, orthogonal experiment
