Derivation Extracted from carob seeds, from the tree Ceratonia siliqua. 

CAROB SEED Ceratoniae semen Carob contains 40% water-soluble mucilage in the endosperm. The seeds are boiled with 4% sodium carbonate solution and then washed. The coat is separated, the seeds are pressed and the hard endosperm separated from the other ingredients. The endosperm contains up to 90% of the polysaccharide carubin, which upon grinding gives a powder, which is used as such or after water extraction and evaporation gives purified carubin. 

Locust bean gum can be extracted from the European carob tree. As the extract, with impurities removed, it gives clear solutions. It shows significant synergy with carrageenan and xanthan, usually at about 50/50 levels, and this synergy tends to eliminate the syneresis often seen with carrageenan. Being insoluble in cold water, heat is required to obtain solutions.
