Effect of Plasma Treatment on the Structures and Properties of Konjac Glucomannan Film

To understand the effect of plasma treatment on the Konjac glucomannan film, the nitrogen plasma was injected into the film by ion beam injection machine in this study. The structures and properties of Konjac glucomannan film after plasma treatment were analyzed by Infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectrum, X-ray, ect. The result showed that nitrogen groups appeared in the KGM molecular chain and part of this chain fractured, and the number of hydrogen bonds increased after the treatment of plasma. The form of KGM molecule remained amorphous non-crystalline state, but the crystalline region was increased and became more ordered. The mechanical property of tensile strength and breaking elongation was improved, while the WVP was decreased. The nitrogen groups were grafted on the KGM molecular chain after plasma treatment, which led to the improvement of the properties of KGM film.     

Formation Mechanism and Stability Study of Konjac Glucomannan Helical Structure

The formation mechanism and stability of konjac glucomannan (KGM) helical structure were investigated by molecular dynamic simulation and experimental method. The results indicate that the molecular conformation of KGM is a non-typical helical structure. In detail, helical structure of KGM is mainly sustained by acetyl group, whose size and stability are affected by the molecular polymerization degree of KGM. In vacuum among the non-bonding interactions, electrostatic force is the greatest factor affecting its helical structure, but in water solution, hydrogen bond affects the helical arrangement greatly. To our interest, temperature exhibits a reversible destroying effect to some extent; the helical structure will disappear completely and present a ruleless clew-like arrangement till 341 K. This work suggests that the method of combining molecular dynamic simulation and experiment tools can be effective in the study of KGM helical structure.     

Study on the Hydration Shell of Single-helical of Konjac Glucomannan

The local maxima of water density in the space near the single-helical of Konjac glucomannan as well as the dominant conformation of the system was studied by molecular dyna-mics under the water environment. The results indicate that the hydration shell,potential energy,and its hydrogen bond network with water bridges of the left-handed single-helix conformation was favored compared to those of right-handed single-helix conformation. This work suggests that the left-handed single-helix conformation was the dominant conformation of KGM in the water environment.     

Studies on Single Chain Structure of Konjac Glucomannan

1INTRODUCTION The single chain structure of KGM is the ele-mentary acting unit of its biological function and viscoelasticity of mechanical properties.The re-search method of saccharide chain and the com-plexity of its structure have restricted the study on structure-activity relationship.Therefore,the studies concerning KGM both at home and abroad mainly focus on its application,whereas less on its structure.Previous researches were only related to the determination and distribution as…     

Molecular Dynamics Simulations of the Interactions between Konjac Glucomannan and Carrageenan

The interactions between konjac glucomannan and carrageenan were studied with the method of molecular dynamics simulation. Part representative structure segments of KGM and two unit structures of κ-carrageenan （Fig. 2） were used as mode, and the force-field was AMBER2. The stability and sites of konjac glucomannan/carrageenan interactions in water were researched at 373 K with the following results： the potential energy （EPOT） of the mixed gel was dropped, while those of single-konjac glucomannan gel and single carrageenan were increased. The surface area （SA） of KGM in the mixed system was decreased to 1002.2A^°^2, and that of carrageenan to 800.9 A^°^2. The variations of two parameters showed that the stability of compound gel konjac glucomannan/carrageenan was improved, which is consistent with the previous studies. The sites of interactions in the mixed gel were the -OH groups on C（2）, C（4） and C（6）, the acetyl group in KGM mannose, and the -OH group on C（6） in carrageenan. The hydrogen bond was formed directly or indirectly by the bridge of waters.

Studies on the Hydrogen Bonding Network Structures of Amino-konjacglucomannan-zinc Chelate

Amino-Konjacglucomannan(NH2-KGM) was prepared through the reaction of ammonium hydroxide with KGM by ultrasonic. The influence of amount of ammonium hydroxide, concentration of KGM and ultrasonic time on the extent of amination was studied. Then, NH2-KGM and zinc sulfate were used as materials for the preparation of NH2-KGM-Zn complex. The results indicated that the extent of amination increases with increasing the ammonium hydroxide. The optimum concentration of KGM and ultrasonic time are 0.3% and 75 min respectively. IR showed KGM is successfully aminated and NH2-KGM forms stable complex with zinc(Ⅱ). The hydrogen bonding network structures of NH2-KGM-Zn are more stable and the key linking points of hydrogen bonding network are at the OH(6) and O(3) positions of mannose and OH(2) of glucose and O(3) of mannose on the KGM ring. It is more favorable for NH2-KGM-Zn to form intermolecular hydrogen bonds between KGM.
