Xanthan and locust bean gum, each for it alone, are thickeners; together, they make up an impressive gelling agent. I found this source that locates the ideal mixing ratio more on the LBG side (i. e. xanthan is the more “potent” thickener).
I already knew (and made) that, but didn't know about the exact numbers. Science!
New to me was that fenugreek gum is a close relative to locust bean gum. Guess who's making fenugreek jelly beans tomorrow?!
(Not sure if this subforum is the right place, or it'd be better suited in the food corner. But on the other hand, thickeners/gelling agents do have viable non-food uses.)
