Galactomannans - locust bean gum
Used alone, galactomannans such as locust bean gum thicken and form viscous, shear thinning solutions. Locust bean gum contains more smooth zones making it insoluble at room temperature and, unlike guar, it can cross-link xanthan and kappa carrageenan to form mixed gels.
Locust bean gum is used as a thickening agent and gelling agent in many food applications. Locust bean gum has a neutral taste, consumer preferred texture, and can improve viscosity.
