CARAVISCO CG140 : A great alternative to Locust Bean Gum
First, the current situation of the Locust Bean Gum market is insane. Indeed, between the little material available and the ever increasing prices, it became urgent for CARAGUM to find a solution. Then, after several months of research, we found an incredible alternative to LBG. Our CARAVISCO CG140 provides a high thickener capacity and develops a very viscous solution in an aqueous system. Furthermore, you can used it in many types of applications.

For ice cream application, it will be a great added value :
