Who sources this ingredient
E499, and the locust bean gum question
Cassia gum is EU approved as E499 and is most often bought as an alternative to locust bean gum, which is periodically both expensive and hard to source. Galactomannan content runs 75 to 85% and the molecular weight around 300,000 Da, which is what gives it the high viscosity that makes the substitution work. Buyers reformulating away from LBG should send the target viscosity rather than the LBG grade name.
Food, pet food, technical and ultra-fine
Pet food is the largest single application and has its own specification expectations. Food grade goes into dairy, dessert and gelling applications. Technical grade serves industrial use. Ultra-fine is milled for systems where dispersion speed matters. Our guar gum line covers the other major galactomannan and buyers often take both to hedge one against the other. MOQ 100 kg.
