Animal fats and their fractions, partly or wholly hydrogenated, inter-esterified, re-esterified or elaidinised, whether or not refined, but not further prepared

CPC v2.1 Code: 2159

About animal fats and their fractions, partly or wholly hydrogenated, inter-esterified, re-esterified or elaidinised, whether or not refined, but not further prepared

cpc code 2159 encompasses the production and processing of animal fats and their fractions, which are an important raw material for a variety of industries. These fats are commonly used in the manufacture of food products, cosmetics, and industrial lubricants. The global animal fats market is a significant contributor to the broader agricultural and food processing sectors, with growing demand driven by population growth, urbanization, and changing dietary preferences.

Production process

The production of animal fats under cpc code 2159 typically involves the rendering of animal tissues, such as fat, bones, and offal. This process involves heating the raw materials to extract the fat, which is then refined, hydrogenated, or otherwise processed to meet the specific requirements of end-users. Techniques like inter-esterification and re-esterification are used to modify the physical and chemical properties of the fats, while elaidinisation can be employed to increase their stability and shelf-life.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of animal fats under cpc code 2159 include raw animal tissues, such as fat, bones, and offal, as well as various processing chemicals and equipment. Rendering facilities, specialized machinery for fat extraction and refining, and storage infrastructure are all essential components of this industry. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are needed to power the production processes.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of cpc code 2159 are various types of animal fats and their fractions, which are used as ingredients in a wide range of products. These fats may be further processed or blended to meet the specific requirements of industries such as 2041 Manufacture of soap and detergents, cleaning and polishing preparations, 1041 Manufacture of food products, and 2029 Manufacture of other chemical products n.e.c..
