Abstract Locust bean gum (LBG) is a typical galactomannan isolated from carob
bean (Ceratonia siliqua L.) cultivated in the Mediterranean area. Due to its superior biodegradable, rheological and film-forming properties, LBG has been used
alone or combined with other biopolymers (e.g., polysaccharides, proteins and
lipids) to develop films. Till now, different kinds of functional ingredients (e.g.,
montmorillonite, bacteriocins, antibiotics, plant extract, essential oils and microbial cells) have been added into LBG-based films. Notably, the physical and functional properties of LBG-based films are affected by many factors, such as the
structure of LBG, the type and content of other biopolymers and functional… More >
