What it is
Peruvian carob gum is a thickening and stabilizing agent derived from the seeds of the carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua), which is native to the Mediterranean region. The seeds are processed to extract a gum that is typically a white to yellowish powder.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use Peruvian carob gum as a stabilizer and thickener in a variety of food products, particularly in dairy-based items like ice cream and frozen yogurt. It helps to improve texture, prevent ice crystal formation, and provide a smoother mouthfeel.
Health notes
Peruvian carob gum is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use as a food additive. International bodies like the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have also evaluated carob bean gum. At typical consumption levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects. Evidence does not suggest significant health concerns.
Allergen info
Peruvian carob gum is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It is also gluten-free.
