10,004,679 B2; Vidya Herbs, Inc., Fullerton, CA, has patented a method of treating skin that entails administering a composition comprising an amorphophallus konjac tuber extract that is substantially free of
glucomannan. The extract is made by a process comprising contacting amorphophallus konjac tuber with alcohol to produce a mixture comprising a
glucomannan coagulate, and removing the
glucomannan coagulate from the mixture thereby producing an extract that is substantially free of
glucomannan.
