Locust Bean Gum. Locust bean gum [9000-40-2], also known as catob seed gum, is a galactomannan extracted from the endosperm of the catob tree seed which is cultivated in the Mediterranean area. The primary use of locust bean gum is in dairy appHcations such as ice cream. It is often used in conjunction with carrageenan because the chemical stmctures of the two enable them to cross-link and form a gel (85). 

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

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.
