PRODUCT

CAROB, S.A. has developed the PALGUM® brand, a high quality locust bean gum produced from a precise selection process of carob seeds, peeled and ground with the most advanced technology.

The carob tree is a typical tree of the Mediterranean area resistant to drought and no need for the use of fertilizers or pesticides. This harvests seeds to the highest quality, also reflecting in our final product, the locust bean gum.

The production process has been adapted to respect the environment, reusing the by-products derived from the processing, resulting in a 100% natural product.

Locust Beam Gum PALGUM®

LOCUST BEAN GUM (LBG)

Locust bean gum belongs to a group of hydrocolloids known as galactomannans. It comes from milling the endosperm of the carob seed.

This seed is made of three parts: the shell, a central protein part (the germ) and the endosperm, which the locust bean gum comes from.

The chemical structure of the locust bean gum provides a high thickener capacity, developing very viscous solution in an aqueous system. In combination with other hydrocolloids such as xanthan or carrageenan, presents synergism and develops the ability to form gels.

CAROB, S.A. has developed its own brand PALGUM®, the highest quality locust bean gum.
