Organic Carob Beangum

Organic carob bean gum is a natural thickening and stabilizing agent derived from the ground seeds of the carob tree, 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.

Manufacturers use carob bean gum as a thickener, stabilizer, and emulsifier in a variety of food products. It helps improve texture and prevent ingredients from separating, commonly found in dairy products like yogurt, ice cream, and cheese, as well as in baked goods and sauces.

Carob bean gum is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is primarily a source of dietary fiber and is not associated with significant health concerns when consumed in typical amounts. International food safety bodies like JECFA have evaluated its use, and it is widely accepted as safe.
