Locust Bean Gum

Locust Bean Gum – Bulk Supply for Food, Nutraceutical & Industrial Applications

Product Overview

Locust Bean Gum (Ceratonia siliqua), known as Keçiboynuzu Zamkı or Carob Gum, is a natural galactomannan extracted from the seeds of the carob tree. It is widely valued for its thickening, stabilizing, and gelling properties. Rich in soluble fibers and polysaccharides, locust bean gum is extensively used in the food industry for its ability to improve texture, viscosity, and shelf life in products such as dairy, bakery, and confectionery. It also has growing applications in nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and industrial formulations as a natural, plant-based alternative to synthetic stabilizers.

At Tuna Sourcing, we supply premium locust bean gum sourced from Mediterranean carob-growing regions and processed under the ISO 22000 Food Safety Management System. Available in powder and granulated forms, our locust bean gum meets the needs of food producers, supplement brands, and industrial buyers worldwide.
