Abstract: The present invention is a process for creating a konjac glucomannan based food product. More specifically, the method for transforming konjac glucomannan solutions into heat-stable gels requires the use of heat and a high pH to deacetylate the konjac glucomannan molecule. A minimum concentration of 1.5-2% konjac glucomannan is necessary to adjust the system to a pH of approximately 9.0. When the solution is heated to 85° C. with a mild alkali condition (pH 9-10) it forms a gel which is unaffected by heat. Thus, the gel remains stable when additional heat is applied and remains unchanged under repeated heating at 100° C. or even at 200° C. Alternatively, the addition of an alkali, like Ca(OH)2 in a konjac glucomannan solution removes its acetyl group forming a stable network structure to form the gel structure.
