Locust Bean Gum
What it is
A gum from the seed of the carob tree.
What it does
On its own it binds water and adds body. Its real strength is in combination: with carrageenan or xanthan it builds firmer, more stable gels that hold up to freezing and thawing.
Where it’s used
Wet food: gel strength in jelly and loaf products; freeze-thaw stability.
Treats: frozen and refrigerated treats and toppers.
Supplements: thickener in pastes.
Dry food and livestock feed: not typical.
