Carob beans, endosperm

Locust bean (carob) is derived from the endosperm portion of seeds of a tree widely cultivated in the Mediterranean area. It is a polysaccharide built of mannose units with short branches of single galactose units, with an average molecular weight of 310,000. 

Locust Bean Gum. Locust bean gum [9000-40-2] is produced by milling the seeds from the leguminous evergreen plant, Ceratonia siliqua or carob tree, which is widely grown in the Mediterranean area. Pods produced by the carob tree consist of a husk, embryo, and endosperm. The latter, the source of the gum, is separated from the tough outer husk and the yeUow embryo tissue by a variety of rolling and milling operations, and subsequently is milled into a fine powder (60). 

Like guaran, and the endosperm polysaccharides of other legumes, locust bean (carob)gum [9000-40-2] is also a galactomaiman. Like guaran, it has a linear backbone of (1 — 4)-1inked P-D-mannopyranosyl units. However, in locust bean gum, approximately one of every 3.9 P-D-mannopyranosyl units, on the average, is substituted with an a-D-galactopyranosyl unit attached at 0-6. 

Commercial locust bean gum is the ground endosperm of the seeds of the locust bean (carob) tree. The general properties of locust bean gum are similar to those of guar gum. Differences are its low cold-water solubiUty and its synergistic gelation with kappa-carrageenan, furceUaran, and xanthan... 

Locust bean gum is extracted from the endosperm of the seeds of the carob tree, Ceratonia siliqua, which grows in Mediterranean countries. 

This material is another plant polysaccharide. The source is the seeds of the carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua), also known as the locust bean tree. The trees grow around the Mediterranean and in California. An alternative name for the fruit is Saint John s Bread . An impure material called carob pod flour can be produced by just removing the hulls and milling the endosperms directly. An impure product like this will give a...

LBG comes from the endosperm of the locust bean,15 which the first-century Greeks used as a laxative and as a paste to bind mummies.14 It is a white, odorless powder without a distinctive taste and is not to be confused with carob, which is a chocolate substitute which comes from the locust bean husk. 

Locust gum, also called locust bean gum, carob, carobin or algar-roba, is obtained as flour from the endosperm of seeds of the carob tree also known as St John s bread Ceratonia siliqua, Cae-sapliniaceae). The tree comes from the Western Mediterranean region (Southern Europe, Northern Africa), but now grows mainly in Spain and in the subtropical regions of the United States and Australia. 

Locust bean gum is derived from the seed of the caroh, Ceratonia siliqua L. (see carob). The seed consists of 33-46% endosperm, 30-33% seed coat (husk), and 23-30% emhryo (germ). 

G. Johannisbrotkemmehl F gomme de caroube L. is produced by milling the seed of Cemtonia si-liqua or - carob tree [locust (bean) tree]. L. is contained in the endosperm and milled to a fine powder.
