SAIGEL™ Locust Bean Gum
( LBG / Carob Gum / E410 )
What is Locust Bean Gum?
Locust Bean Gum is a natural galactomannan extracted from the seeds of the carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua). Known for its unique synergistic interactions with other hydrocolloids, LBG is widely used in food and non-food industries to modify texture, stabilize emulsions, and improve gel structure.
SAIGEL™ Locust Bean Gum
At Satguru, we source premium-quality Carob gum from our international partners to ensure consistent performance across applications. SAIGEL™ LBG is especially valued for its synergy with carrageenan and xanthan gum, where it enhances gel strength, improves water retention, and provides a smoother, elastic texture. This makes it indispensable in dairy systems like ice creams, milk-based desserts, and processed cheeses, where it prevents ice crystal formation, stabilizes proteins, and delivers superior mouthfeel.
