Locust Bean Gum

Locust Bean Gum (LBG) is a textural ingredient obtained from the fruit seeds of the carob tree. The

endosperm of carob seeds is separated from germ, tested by various processes, and then ground to

locust bean gum.

LBG imparts smooth flow proper??es, freeze-thaw stability and appropriate thickening to a wide range of

products. LBG has a water holding capacity approximately 50 ??mes its own weight. It also improves gel

strength when used in combina??on with K-Carrageenan and Agar-agar.
