Locust Bean Gum
Locust Bean Gum
We Kachabo Gums are involved in offering utmost quality
of Locust Bean Gum. A natural food additive derived from the seeds of the carob
tree, locust bean gum is an ingredient in an array of products, such as
ice cream, yogurt, and cream cheese. The gum, also called carob gum, acts as a
stabilizing and thickening agent. It also offers a sweet, slightly
chocolaty flavor. It's also used in inedible items, such as cosmetics,
shoe polish, insecticides, and other products that need a thickener,
including textiles and paper. Although well known for its solidifying properties,
locust bean gum also offers health benefits such as easing digestive symptoms
and improving blood sugar levels. However, its typical serving size is so small
that it does not have much of an impact on health.
Locust bean gum is extracted from the seeds of the carob tree,
which is native to the Mediterranean
region. In 2016, nearly 75% of
global production came from Portugal, Italy, Spain and Morocco. The seeds are contained within
long pods that grow on the tree. First, the pods are kibbled to separate the seed from the
pulp. Then, the seeds have their skins removed by an acid or heat treatment.
Acid treatment yields a lighter coloured gum than heat treatment.the deskinned seed is then split and gently milled.
This causes the brittle germ to break up while not affecting the more robust endosperm. The two are separated by sieving. The separated endosperm can then be
milled by a roller operation to produce the final locust bean gum powder. Alternatively, the gum can be
extracted from the seeds with water, precipitated with alcohol, filtered, dried
and milled, to give a very pure "clarified" locust bean gum. We Kachabo Gums are Leading
