What it is

Organic carob bean gum is a natural thickening and stabilizing agent derived from the ground seeds of the carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua), native to the Mediterranean region. The seeds are processed to remove the outer hull and germ, and the remaining endosperm is ground into a fine powder. It is approved for use in organic products.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use carob bean gum as a thickener, stabilizer, and emulsifier in a wide variety of foods. It helps improve texture and prevent ice crystal formation in frozen desserts like ice cream and yogurt. It is also found in dairy products, baked goods, and sauces.

Health notes

Carob bean gum is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of soluble fiber, which may aid digestion. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated carob bean gum and found it to be safe for consumption. No significant health concerns are associated with its typical use in foods.

Allergen info

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