Locust bean gum forms a weak, heat‑stable gel when combined with xanthan gum.
Origin: Middle Eastern and Indian (Traditional) — Middle East, India
See full technique reference →The gelation is driven by hydrogen bonding between galactomannan chains and xanthan gum, reinforced by ionic interactions. It is highly sensitive to concentration, pH, ionic strength, and shear, making it a versatile thickening agent.
Primary Reaction
Hydrogen bonding and ionic cross‑linking of LBG chains with xanthan gum and divalent cations
