Locust bean gum is a high-molecular-weight galactomannan polysaccharide extracted from carob (Ceratonia siliqua) seeds and supplied for research use. It serves as a thickening, stabilizing, and gelling agent with strong water retention and high viscosity, commonly used in formulation studies, biochemical assays, and food technology research.
- Natural galactomannan polysaccharide from carob seeds.
- High viscosity (≈5000-6500 mPa·s) for robust thickening.
- Polysaccharide purity >75%.
- Forms stable gels at low temperatures.
- Good water retention and suspension stabilization.
- Storage: room temperature, protect from light; solutions: -20°C to -80°C for extended storage.
- For research use only; not for patient or human therapeutic use.
