Expert Verdict
Natural galactomannan from carob seeds prized for its unique synergistic interaction with xanthan gum — together they form elastic gels at concentrations where neither gels alone, enabling novel texture design. Cold-insoluble: requires full hydration at ≥80 °C. Use level 0.5–1.5%. Fully biodegradable, exempt from EU REACH SPM restriction, COSMOS/ECOCERT compliant. The primary choice when elastic gel textures are desired in naturally-derived formulations.
