About fish-liver oils and their fractions
cpc code 21524 covers the industry of fish-liver oils and their fractions. This industry plays a vital role in the broader economy, as fish-liver oils are an important source of essential nutrients, such as vitamins A and D, and omega-3 fatty acids. These oils are widely used in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and food industries, contributing to human health and wellness.
Production process
The production of fish-liver oils typically involves a multi-step process. First, the livers of various fish species, such as cod, shark, and halibut, are collected and processed. The livers are then subjected to extraction techniques, often using solvents or centrifugation, to separate the oil from the other liver components. The extracted oil is then refined, purified, and sometimes further processed to concentrate the desired nutrients.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of fish-liver oils include the raw fish livers, which are the primary source material. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized extraction and processing equipment, such as centrifuges, evaporators, and distillation units. Chemical solvents and other processing aids may also be used, depending on the specific production methods employed.
Production outputs
The primary output of this industry is the fish-liver oil itself, which can be further classified and marketed based on its specific nutrient composition and purity. These oils are then consumed by various downstream industries, including the 21512 Pharmaceutical preparations, 21513 Medicinal chemical and botanical products, and 20711 Prepared animal feeds sectors, where they are used as ingredients in a wide range of products.
