Carob Gum (Locust Bean Gum, E410) is a natural galactomannan polysaccharide extracted from the seeds of the carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua). This white to yellowish powder serves as a highly effective thickener, stabilizer, and gelling agent in food and industrial applications.
Key Properties:
Cold-water soluble (requires heat for full viscosity)
Synergizes with κ-carrageenan and xanthan gum
Heat-stable, acid-resistant (pH 3-11)
Non-GMO, vegan, and gluten-free

Carob gum, also known as locust bean gum (LBG), is a natural polysaccharide extracted from the seeds of the Ceratonia siliqua tree. It is widely used as a thickener, stabilizer, and gelling agent in food, pharmaceuticals, and industrial applications due to its excellent water-binding properties and synergistic effects with other hydrocolloids.
Dairy Products: Used in ice cream, yogurt, and cheese to improve texture, prevent ice crystal formation, and enhance creaminess.
Bakery & Confectionery: Acts as a stabilizer in gluten-free products, improving dough elasticity and moisture retention in cakes and bread.
Sauces & Dressings: Provides viscosity and prevents phase separation in ketchup, mayonnaise, and salad dressings.
Meat & Poultry: Enhances water retention in processed meats, improving juiciness and texture.
Used as a binder in tablets and a thickener in liquid medications.
Functions as a sustained-release agent in drug formulations.
Improves the stability of emulsions and suspensions in topical creams.
Acts as a thickener and emulsifier in lotions, shampoos, and toothpaste.
Provides a smooth, silky texture in skincare products.
Used in textile printing, paper manufacturing, and biodegradable films.
Acts as a natural adhesive in eco-friendly packaging.
Non-GMO, plant-based, and allergen-free.
Synergizes well with xanthan gum and carrageenan for enhanced functionality.
Carob gum is a versatile, sustainable ingredient with broad applications, particularly valued in clean-label and plant-based products. Its demand continues to grow in food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries.
