Traditional Medicine. The dried seed kernels (ghazanfar) and carob flour has long been used as an antidiarrheal by people of the Mediterranean and Aegean regions. The ancient Egyptians used the pods in topical treatments of wounds and eye conditions, and internally in other conditions (manniche). A decoction of the pods has been used for catarrhal infections (uphof). 

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 .

The first imports of carob gum into this country were made in the late 1920 s, although this gum had been used as a thickener for textile printing pastes in Germany prior to World War I and, for some time prior to that, in Spain and Portugal as a starch replacement and as a size for paper and textiles. From Biblical times, the pods had been used in the Mediterranean countries for human and animal feed and as a source of fermentable carbohydrate. It is probable that the independent value of the bean as a source of gum was unearthed by the pharmacists, for one of the early uses of the flour in Europe was as a bulk laxative. Expansion of the American market has stimulated production of seed in Cyprus, Greece, Italy, Portugal, and Spain. Some of the seed is milled in those countries, as well as in England, Holland, Switzerland, and the United States.

M. only occasionally occurs in the fiee form (e.g., in orange peel), but frequently in the glycosidically bound form and is widely distributed in complex carbohydrates, the so-called mannans (e. g., in the ivory nut, carob tree, lu-cern seeds, guar flour, orchid tubers, and sea kelp).

Adhesives used in size formulations include starches (natural such as potato, maize or sago, or chemically modified, e.g. starch ethers), natural gums (guar, carob or locust bean flour), gelatin, Polyvinyl alcohol, polyacrylic acid, vinyl and acrylic resins and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (SCMC). 

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. 

Ingredients such as blackstrap molasses, bone meal, brewers yeast, carob powder, dolomite, lecithin granules, and liver powder have unusual tastes and textures. Therefore, it is unwise to use more than 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of each of them per cup of flour.
