E410 Gomme de caroube, Farine de graine de caroube
Carob gum or flour is obtained by grinding carob seeds. It acts as a thickener and stabilizer. It makes soups and sauces smoother, prevents the formation of ice crystals in ice cream and sugar crystals in confectionery. It is also used as a bulking agent in low-fat foods. In isolated cases, allergic reactions have been reported (mainly asthma and rhinitis). At high doses of consumption, intestinal discomfort may be observed (bloating, flatulence, laxative effect). Finally, some studies suggest a reduced absorption of minerals that are trapped by the viscous mesh formed by carob bean gum. Particular attention must be paid to children and infants with gastrointestinal reflux. Indeed, these children receive a specific diet to avoid these refluxes and may be subject to the undesirable effects mentioned above (diarrhea, flatulence). Finally, the use of E410 is prohibited in certain confectionery products because of the risk of choking, especially for children and the elderly.
