ANSWER
For ice-cream applications, locust bean gum is usually used in combination with other stabilizers such as carrageenan/guar gum/xanthan gum as it creates a synergistic effect. If used alone, it may cause whey-off during processing. Generally, the usage level is about 0.1 to 0.2% depending on which other gums are used in conjunction with it (Bahramparvar & Tehrani, 2011; Naresh & Shailaja, 2006).
