Abstract
Dietary fiber like konjac glucomannan (KGM) is important in maintaining good human health. There is no established method for quantifying the average degree of acetylation DA of this polysaccharide. Polysaccharides are notoriously difficult to dissolve. In this study, KGM could not be fully dissolved in common solvents and was characterized in the solid state. ATR-FTIR spectroscopy enabled a fast qualitative assessment of acetylation, selective to the outer layer of KGM particles, and identifying excipients like magnesium stearate. Average DA was quantified for the first time with solid-state 13C NMR in KGM: semi-quantitative measurements on the same arbitrary scale by cross polarization (1 to 2 days) were calibrated with a few longer single-pulse excitation measurements (approximately 1 week). DA values ranged from 4 to 8% of the hexoses in the backbone, in agreement with previously reported values. This method could be used for quality control and standardization of KGM products.
