Substitutes for Carob Seed Flour in gelato

Carob seed flour is locust bean gum (E410), a natural galactomannan hydrocolloid milled from the endosperm of carob (Ceratonia siliqua) seeds. In gelato it is a stabilizer, not a sweetener, used to bind water, boost viscosity and control ice-crystal growth. Closest matches on the balancing numbers, ranked. Swap and adjust as noted.
