The
product in detail
Description
Locust bean gum is a natural hydrocolloid and a stabilizer that is efficient even at a low dosage. It swells by absorbing water when the liquid is cold, but its thickening properties are optimized when heated. It is also stable to acidity.
It is a perfect binder and stabilizer for emulsions.
In ice cream, it acts as a stabilizer, limiting crystallization and delaying melting. It can be pasteurized or sterilized without losing its properties.
It has good synergies with starch, alginate, carrageenan, guar, xanthan and pectin.
