What it is
Locust bean gum, also known as carob bean gum, is a dietary fiber derived from the seeds of the carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua). The seeds are ground into a powder to produce the gum.
Why it's used
Locust bean gum is used as a thickening and stabilizing agent in food products. It helps improve texture and prevent ingredients from separating, commonly found in dairy products like ice cream and yogurt, as well as sauces, baked goods, and beverages.
Health notes
Locust bean gum is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of soluble dietary fiber, which may contribute to digestive health. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated locust bean gum and established guidelines for its use. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption levels.
Allergen info
Locust bean gum is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
