. *Prices include VAT

Locust bean gum is used as natural thickening agent, emulsifier and stabilizer.

Locust bean gum (LBG) is the ground endosperm from the seed of the locust bean tree (carob tree). LBG is the preferred texturizer for various food applications due to its natural image, the neutral taste and the very creamy texture it provides.

The powder partially hydrates in cold water, but the full viscosity can be obtained only by heating the solution (85˚C). LBG is widely used as a thickening agent in hot-prepared fabricated foods, such as; sauces, soups, ketchups and mayonnaises.

It is non-digestible and may be classified as soluble fiber. In appropriate dosages, it is known to increase intestinal tract mobility and reduce blood serum cholesterol levels.

Available in 55 gram, 140 gram, 550 gram and 10 kilogram.
