The gel strength and texture of konjac gels were affected by secondary gums and setting
conditions with or without NaCl and/or SPI addition. The fact that NaCl addition did show
more effects on konjac/κ-carrageenan and konjac/gellan mixed gels will produce different gel
strength, hardness and springiness values depending on SPI addition. Under the same
conditions, konjac/xanthan mixed gels showed no change in springiness with respect to that
of other mixed gels. The influencing variables such as pH, gelling temperature and sucrose
require further investigation.
