The
product in detail

Description

Locust bean gum is a natural hydrocolloid and a low-dose stabilizer. It swells by absorbing water when cold, but is optimized when hot, and is 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.
