Konjac powder and konjac gum are increasingly used as plant-based gelling agents in the production of halal-certified gummy candies, offering a clean-label, gelatin-free alternative suitable for modern consumers in Southeast Asia.

Thanks to their high fiber content and gel-forming ability, konjac-based ingredients create a chewy texture, clear appearance, and a satisfying bite—all without animal-derived components. As the demand for superfood-inspired, low-sugar, and functional confectionery grows, konjac helps brands formulate gummies that are not only halal-compliant, but also digestive-friendly, low in calories, and rich in natural soluble fiber.
