Research Abstract	By oure' s reserchs on Konjac, untill now, it was apparent that the best physical properties of Konjac were maked by the preparation of Konjac flour sols. It was apparrent that the viscoelasticity of Konjac flour sols were mesured by touching with farmer s hand as traditional hand made-methods in place of production of Konjac. So, the mesurement of viscoelastic properties of Konjac flour sols, which was swollen a half-solid and indicated the flow behavior, that was studied on means of the creep mesurements used pararelplate. By this analysis-method, the properties were still more apparent than viscosity-mesurement. The viscoelasitic properties of Konjac-sol were effected of aging time and temperature. But, in mannan powder-product- ed Konjac, by aging time, Konjac was not effect. It ware suggested for the one of facters that the other subustants of konjac-mannan, "TOBIKO" effect on the physical properties in the Konjac
