Locust Bean Gum, E410, CAS no.9000-40-2, a galactomannan vegetable gum extracted from the seeds of the carob tree. Locust Bean Gum appears as a white to yellow-white powder, and is often used as a thickening agent and gelling agent. It has a sweet flavor similar to chocolate, and is mainly used to sweeten ice cream, cream cheese, transparent jellies, infant formulas, skin care products. Locust bean gum significantly improves gel strength and texture and prevents syneresis when used in combination with Carrageenan. Its unique synergy with Xanthan gum provides clear advantages such as highly elastic gel formation from two thickening agents with a very limited syneresis.

Locust Bean Gum, also known as carob gum or carob bean gum, is a natural gum extracted from the seeds of the carob tree. The Carob Bean seeds are deskinned first and split, followed by milling. The endosperm is strong whereas the germ is brittle. The germ part is separated from the endosperm by sieving method. The robust endosperm is then milled to the final locust bean gum powder.
Locust bean gum significantly improves gel strength and texture and prevents syneresis when used in combination with carrageenan. It has various applications. Locust Bean Gum is also used as a thickening agent, stabilizer, and gelling agent in industrial applications such as paper manufacturing, textile printing. It is also utilized in the formulation of cosmetics and personal care products for its film-forming and conditioning properties.
Locust bean gum is a natural hydrocolloid extracted from locust tree seeds. The endosperm of carob seeds are separated from germ and testa by various processes then ground to locust bean gum. Locust bean gum imparts smooth flow properties, freeze- thaw stability and appropriate thickening to a wide range of products. It also improves gel strength when used in combination with K-Carrageenan. Locust Bean Gum provides brightness high viscosity the whitest coloured and highest gel strength. Locust bean gum dissolves completely above 75 C. Usage level : 0.1 â?? 0.9 %. We mainly produce the following Locust bean Gum grades;
Locust Bean Gum A-01 (2800 -3000 cps):Top grade Locust Bean Gum suitable for the products where high viscosity and whiteness are important.
Locust Bean Gum A-02 (2400- 2600 cps): Medium grade Locust Bean Gum suitable for the products where high viscosity is not very important.
Locust Bean Gum A-03 (2000 -2200 cps): Standard grade Locust Bean Gum suitable for the products where both high viscosity and whiteness are not very important.
Locust bean pods are the fruit of the carob tree, which is native to the Mediterranean region separate the seeds from the pulp. With a sugar content of more than 50%, the pulp is mainly used as animal feed. The seeds are shelled and the endosperms are separated from the seedlings. Locust bean gum is obtained by milling these endosperms (splits) this is then used in the food industry.
The gum produced from the seedlings is mainly used as a plant protein for food and feed purposes. Locust bean gum is a popular natural thickening agent and stabiliser. Locust bean gum have various applications in food industry such as dairy, bakery, confectionery, condiments, meat & plant based meat applications

Locust bean gum
Locust bean gum is extracted from the seeds of the carob tree. In many ways, this tropical tree is similar to the cacao plant, from which chocolate is made. Locust bean gum is a fine white powder with many uses in food production. The gum is mildly sweet and has a subtle chocolate taste.
Bean Plants are of different varieties and beans seeds obtained from different bean plants have exclusive properties that make it applicable in several industrial applications. Locust bean is one among the bean types that possess high stabilizing property.
Moisture controlling agent
Viscous agent
Stabilizer
Thickening agent
Improves Elasticity
Texture modifier
These properties keep this derivative suitable for several industrial applications. However, though other types of gum powders are also available as viscous agents, the main difference in the application of Locust bean gum is that it gives out complete viscosity when applied after dispersing the gum powder in water.
It is a galactomannan vegetable gum extracted from the seeds of the carob tree and used as a thickening agent (gelling agent) in food technology. It is widely utilized as an additive in various industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, paper, textile, oil well drilling & cosmetics. We have exported (Made in India) more than 26MT of Food Grade-LBG to two customers in China and one customer in Tunisia in the last 8 months. Also, this product quality is approved for the European market as well as for the markets of Far East Countries like Taiwan & Malaysia.
Locust bean gum (E410) is a natural vegetable hydrocolloid obtained by grinding the endosperm of the carob tree seeds. Reduce ice crystallization, soluble in hot water.
