What it is

Locust bean gum is a dietary fiber derived from the seeds of the carob tree, native to the Mediterranean region. The seeds are dehulled and germinated, and the endosperm is separated from the hull and germ. The endosperm is then ground into a fine powder.

Why it's used

Locust bean gum is used as a thickening and stabilizing agent in foods like ice cream, sauces, and baked goods. It helps improve texture and prevent ice crystal formation in frozen desserts. It is often found in cakes, cupcakes, croissants, and muffins.

Health notes

Locust bean gum is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of soluble dietary fiber, which may contribute to digestive health. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated locust bean gum, and it is approved for use in many countries. No significant health concerns are associated with its consumption at typical dietary levels.
