About vanilla, processed

cpc code 23928 covers the processing and refining of vanilla, a highly prized spice derived from the pods of the vanilla orchid. Vanilla is a key ingredient in a wide range of food and beverage products, from ice cream and baked goods to perfumes and cosmetics. As a result, the vanilla processing industry plays a vital role in the global food and flavor supply chain, contributing significantly to the broader economy.

Production process

The production of processed vanilla involves several key steps. First, the vanilla pods are harvested and cured, a process that can take several months. The cured pods are then sorted, graded, and dried. Next, the dried pods undergo extraction, where the valuable vanillin compound is separated from the pod material. This can be done through various methods, including maceration, percolation, or supercritical fluid extraction. The extracted vanillin is then further refined and processed to produce the final vanilla extract or powder.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the vanilla processing industry include the raw vanilla pods, which are sourced from major producing regions such as 01111 Vanilla bean farming. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized equipment and machinery for the drying, extraction, and refining processes, as well as various solvents and reagents used in the extraction and purification stages.

Production outputs

The main outputs of the vanilla processing industry are refined vanilla extracts and powders, which are then used as ingredients in a wide range of food, beverage, and personal care products. These processed vanilla products may be consumed by manufacturers of 31192 Flavoring extracts and syrups, nec, 31141 Frozen desserts, and 32562 Cosmetics and other toilet preparations.
