As a viscosity builder, carob gum is said to be five times as effective as starch and twice as effective as Western Jain gum. Carob gum is also used as a tablet binder and is authorised for use in oral controlled release systems in the USA and Europe. Carob gum is widely used as an adhesive, viscosity builder and stabiliser in the cosmetics and food industries. Concentrations of 0.15 to 0.75 per cent are used in food applications.
