CPC v2.1 Code: 2321

About glucose and glucose syrup; fructose and fructose syrup; lactose and lactose syrup; invert sugar; sugars and sugar syrups n.e.c.; artificial honey; caramel

cpc code 2321 encompasses a diverse range of sugar-based products that are essential ingredients in various industries, from food and beverage manufacturing to pharmaceuticals and personal care. These sugar-derived commodities play a crucial role in the global economy, providing sweeteners, thickeners, and other functional properties that are integral to a wide array of consumer and industrial applications.

Production process

The production of the goods classified under cpc code 2321 typically involves a combination of extraction, purification, and refining processes. Glucose and fructose, for instance, are often derived from the hydrolysis of starch, while lactose is extracted from dairy byproducts. Invert sugar and artificial honey are produced through the enzymatic or chemical inversion of sucrose. Caramel, on the other hand, is manufactured by the controlled heating and browning of sugars.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of cpc code 2321 goods include various types of raw sugar, starch, dairy products, and specialized enzymes or chemicals. Additionally, the industry relies on a range of processing equipment, such as centrifuges, evaporators, and drying systems, to facilitate the extraction, purification, and transformation of these sugar-based materials.

Production outputs

The outputs of cpc code 2321 are widely used as ingredients in the production of 2412 Food preparations n.e.c., 2423 Pharmaceutical preparations, and 3699 Other manufactured products n.e.c.. These sugar-derived products serve as sweeteners, thickeners, and bulking agents in a diverse array of food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and personal care formulations.
