    Carob bean gum, also known as locust bean gum, is a galactomannan polysaccharide obtained from the seeds of Ceratonia siliqua (L.) Taub. (Fam. Leguminosae). The ground endosperm consists mainly of high molecular weight (approximately 50,000-3,000,000) polysaccharides composed of galactomannans with a mannose:galactose ratio of about 4:1. The seeds are dehusked by treating the seeds with dilute sulfuric acid or with thermal mechanical treatments, elimination of the germ, followed by milling and screening of the endosperm to obtain native carob bean gum. The gum is clarified by dispersing in hot water, filtration and precipitation with ethanol or isopropanol, filtering, drying and milling. The clarified carob bean gum does not contain cell wall materials. Clarified carob bean gum in the market is normally standardized with sugars for viscosity and reactivity.
