What is Locust Bean Gum?(Carob Gum)
About Carob Gum
Locust bean gum, also known as carob gum, is a widely used food additive that serves as a thickening agent in various food products. Derived from the seeds of the carob tree, this natural gum has gained popularity due to its versatile properties.
When added to food, locust bean gum enhances the texture and consistency, providing a smooth and creamy mouthfeel. It is commonly found in ice creams, yogurt, sauces, and bakery products. With its ability to stabilize and emulsify, it helps maintain the desired structure and prevents separation.
