To investigate the potential medical application of konjac glucomannan (KGM), we treated KGM film with potassium hydroxide (KOH) or calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2), and evaluated its use as a wound dressing. The Ca(OH)2-treated KGM (Ca(OH)2-KGM) film exhibited more favorable properties of swelling, tensile strength, and elongation compared with the KOH-treated KGM (KOH–KGM) film, and also had a suitable...
Konjac glucomannan (KGM) is widely used in the food industry because of its biocompatibility, nontoxicity, and favorable film-forming ability. However, KGM has been seldom applied to biomaterials for tissue regeneration. In this paper, we investigate the effects of Ca(OH)2 on KGM film and evaluate its potency as a wound dressing. We successfully prepared Ca(OH)2-treated KGM film. High Ca(OH)2 concentrations...
