Our KERAGUM range of locust bean gum (E410), are extracted from the endosperm of the seeds of the endemic carob tree (Ceratonia Siliqua), native to the Mediterranean basin. They are vegetable-based thickeners, stabilizers, emulsifiers and flavoring agents. They consist of high molecular weight galactomannans polysaccharides, that has the capacity to form very viscous solutions at relatively low concentrations, which are almost not affected by pH, temperature or salts.
The level required for their use is low, compared to their benefits, giving our products a place of choice for a wide range of applications : ice cream/milk, water ice, yogurt fruit, cream cheese, sauces, dressings, jelly products ..etc.
