E410

E410, also known as locust bean gum, is a food ingredient commonly used as a thickening agent in various food products. Derived from the seeds of the carob tree, which is a type of legume, this natural additive provides texture and viscosity to a wide range of foods.

To produce E410, the seeds of the carob tree are ground into a powder, which is then processed to extract the gum. This gum is then purified and turned into a fine powder that can be easily added to food products during the manufacturing process. The resulting locust bean gum serves as an effective stabiliser and thickener in many consumer goods.

You may find E410 listed on food labels of products like ice cream, yogurt, salad dressings, and gluten-free baked goods. Its role in these foods is to improve texture and prevent ingredients from separating. For example, in ice cream, locust bean gum helps create a creamy consistency, while in salad dressings, it ensures a smooth and stable emulsion.
