:Locust bean gum
Description:
Locust bean gum, also known as carob gum, is a natural polysaccharide derived from the seeds of the carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua). It is primarily composed of galactomannan, a type of carbohydrate that consists of mannose and galactose units. This gum is characterized by its ability to form viscous solutions and gels when hydrated, making it a valuable thickening and stabilizing agent in various food products, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. Locust bean gum is soluble in hot water but has limited solubility in cold water. It is often used in combination with other hydrocolloids, such as guar gum or xanthan gum, to enhance its gelling properties. Additionally, it is known for its low caloric content and is considered safe for consumption, being classified as a food additive. Its applications extend beyond the food industry, as it is also utilized in textiles, paper, and cosmetics for its emulsifying and stabilizing properties. Overall, locust bean gum is a versatile ingredient valued for its functional characteristics in various formulations.

CAS:Locust bean (carob) gum is the refined endosperm of the seed of the carob tree, an evergreen of the legume family (Ceretonia siliqua). The tree grows extensively in Spain and is cultivated in many other Mediterranean countries. Locust bean gum, like guar gum, is a galactomannan with a backbone of (1,4) β-D-mannopyranosyl units having branches of (1,6)-linked α-D-galactopyranosyl units. However, locust bean gum has substantially fewer side chains than guar gum and these are clustered in blocks leaving longer regions of unsubstituted mannosyl regions. The gum is only partially soluble in water and suspensions require heating before solubility is achieved. As with guar, the polysaccharide forms gels with other gums such as carrageenan and xanthan. Applications are in the food industry to enhance texture, in paper making and in the textile industry.Purity:Min. 95%Color and Shape:Off-White PowderLOCUST BEAN GUM
