Glucomannan is a heteroglycan consisting of beta-(14)-linked D-glucose (G) and D-mannose (M) in a proportion of 5:8. The basic polymeric repeating unit has the pattern: GGMMGMMMMMGGM, with branching through beta-(13)- and beta-(16)-glucosyl linkages. Acetate groups are present on C-6 every 9-19 units of the main chain. It has a role as a nutraceutical.

Regulatory evidence across markets

None of the 13 markets tracked here holds an imported rule under the name GLUCOMANNAN.

That is a statement about this inventory, not about the law: no imported rule is not evidence that a substance is permitted. A rule may exist under a different name, under a CAS or EC number this glossary entry does not carry, or in a dataset not yet imported.
