What it is

Locust bean gum is a dietary fiber derived from the seeds of the carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua), native to the Mediterranean region. The seeds are dehusked, milled, and sifted to produce a fine, off-white to yellowish powder.

Why it's used

Locust bean gum is used as a thickening and stabilizing agent in foods. It helps improve texture and prevent separation in products like ice cream, sauces, dressings, and baked goods. It is often found in frozen foods, dairy products, and baked items.

Health notes

International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated locust bean gum. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects at typical consumption levels.

Allergen info

Locust bean gum is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
