Locust Bean Gum, E410, CAS no.9000-40-2, a galactomannan vegetablegum extracted from the seeds of the carob tree. Locust Bean Gum appears as a white to yellow-white powder, and is often used as a thickening agent and gelling agent. It has a sweet flavor similar to chocolate, and is mainly used to sweeten ice cream, cream cheese, transparent jellies, infant formulas, skin care products. Locust bean gum significantly improves gel strength and texture and prevents syneresis when used in combination with Carrageenan. Its unique synergy with Xanthan gum provides clear advantages such as highly elastic gel formation from two thickening agents with a very limited syneresis.
