The mechanical properties of moderately dilute solution of Konjac powder (KP) and its hydrolysates (hKP) were characterized by viscosity and texture profile analysis. hKP was prepared by partial acid hydrolysis of KP in 70% ethanol solution at 130°C. The viscosities of 0.3%~0.5% KP solutions and 0.6%~1.0% hKP solutions were about 50~500 mPa·s and 80~400 mPa·s respectively. The hKP solution moved around the mouth more slowly and allowed better control of swallowing than KP solution. This indicates that hKP may be useful as a thickener to take medicine due to its low adhesiveness.
