Abstract: A degradation method of Konjac glucomannan(KGM) with hydrogen peroxide under the microwave was studied. The results indicate that under the microwave the hydrogen peroxide can degrade KGM effectively. The optimal condition to degrade KGM under the microwave: microwave power about 540W, pH3.6, the oncentration of H2O2 is 1.8%, and reaction time about 3min.

Key words: microwave, hydrogen peroxide, Konjac glucomannan, degradation
