## Description

Description 100% Pure Locust Bean Gum Powder (e410) for use in molecular gastronomy. Locust Bean Gum, also called carob bean gum, it is extracted from the seed of the carob tree. It forms a food reserve for the seeds and helps to retain water under arid conditions. It can be used as a stabilization agent in ice cream to prevent ice crystals from forming or thickener in salad dressing. Combine synergistically with guar gum to make a thicker gel.

Review: Great for gellification purposes - I use this to boost performance of carrageenans, so that I can use less of them -- and it really is amazing how well it works in that regard. A small percentage of LBG and I can get a great gel with one fifth as much kappa as I was using previously. Mix the kappa-LBG with some iota and I can drop the total carrageenan percentage even more, to less than 0.1% in many cases. (I mostly do panna cotta and other calcium-heavy applications, which helps. YMMV.) Really nice to be able to both save money and ingest less of these chemicals. (Whether or not they're actually harmful; I like using them but why eat lots when you can just eat a tiny bit?)
Review: For Foam Like SHAVING CREAM From Almond Milk And Non-Dairy Substitutes, This Stuff Is AMAZING! - I don't get to drink coffee that much (can not have the caffeine) but when I do once a week or so, I love to have a latte with lots of foamy milk. I found an almond milk that had the best foam out there, but it was discontinued and I was very frustrated. After examining the ingredients, what was unique about the almond milk I liked is that it was the only one that listed Locust Bean Gum on it. WHAT IS THIS LIKE? Locust Bean Gum is tasteless and does not really smell like much. It is a white powder. I keep it in a glass jar with tight fitting lid. The idea is that you use it for thickener. HOW DO I USE THIS? When I have almond milk that I want to froth up with my fantastic Capresso 204.04 frothPLUS Automatic Milk Frother, Silver and Black , followed up by my Cafe Casa Milk Frother 2 Speed Handheld Drink Mixer - Latte Maker - Stainless Steel - With 2 AA Batteries Included (Silver) into a wonderful foam, I will do the following: -Put the milk into the lowest fill line of the Capresso 204.04 frothPLUS Automatic Milk Frother, Silver and Black . I will put it on the warm setting and let the milk foam while it warms up. If it is not frothy enough then.. -I take out the Cafe Casa Milk Frother 2 Speed Handheld Drink Mixer - Latte Maker - Stainless Steel - With 2 AA Batteries Included (Silver) and add a TINY pinch of this locust bean gum- I mean very tiny. I then froth with this Cafe Casa frother and what I get is almost shaving cream consistency foam. ANY DRAWBACKS? The only drawback is that you have to make sure you only use a little tiny bit as this really works fast and is highly concentrated. DOES IT WORK WITH ONLY ONE FROTHER? I use two frothers because I like the fine bubbles of the Capresso, but I like the more volume that I get from the Cafe Casa. The two together with the locust bean gum can take a very small amount of milk and increase the volume about five fold or so. Even if I add a little honey it does not seem to affect the ability to foam at all. THE BOTTOM LINE If you use any of the nutmilks, or other non-dairy substitutes, a tiny dusting of this locust bean gum can take you from weak foam to shaving cream style foam in a short time using a frother. MY RATING FIVE stars for this. I know there are other uses, but I really love having this handy for those days that I want some high volume foam that sticks around for a while and does not vanish quickly.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic for sorbet
*by K***N on October 8, 2018*

Really great quality product in thoughtful packaging with a nice feel. It worked like a charm in my orange sorbet syrup - I just boiled it with the water and sugar to hydrate it, and then blended it with the other ingredients once the syrup finished. My sorbet has been in the freezer a month and still is totally stable and smooth! Love it.
