Locust bean gum

Locust bean gum, also known as Carob bean gum, is a natural derivative from the seeds of the carob tree cultivated in the Mediteranean area. It is used for texturising a wide range of food products.

A cost-effective food stabiliser

Locust bean gum is a cost-effective and simple way to stabilise your food.

Key benefits

Locust bean gum is the preferred texturiser for various food applications due to its natural image, the neutral taste and the very creamy texture it provides. More important than the viscosity is the positive influence of the ice crystal growth in ice cream, reduction of syneresis when used in combination with pectin or carrageenan in fruit and dairy applications. LBG has a positive impact on the protein stability and does not interact with other ingredients in your food due to its neutral behaviour.
