Residues of starch manufacture and similar residues

cpc code 39130 covers the residues and by-products generated during the manufacture of starch and related products. Starch is a vital ingredient in a wide range of industries, from food processing to paper production, and the efficient utilization of starch manufacturing residues is crucial for the sustainability and profitability of this important sector. These residues have various applications, making them a valuable part of the broader agricultural and industrial supply chains.

The production of starch involves extracting and refining the starch content from various plant sources, such as corn, potatoes, wheat, and cassava. The key steps typically include milling, steeping, separation, and drying. During these processes, certain residues and by-products are generated, which are then further processed or repurposed for other applications.

The main inputs required for the production of starch and the subsequent generation of residues include the raw plant materials, water, and energy sources. Specialized machinery and equipment, such as mills, centrifuges, and drying systems, are also essential for the efficient extraction and processing of the starch and its residues.

The primary outputs of cpc code 39130 are the various residues and by-products generated during starch manufacture, which may include corn gluten, potato pulp, wheat bran, and cassava bagasse. These outputs can be used as animal feed 23000 Residues and waste from the food industries; prepared animal fodder, as a source of dietary fiber, or as feedstock for the production of 20140 Starch and starch products, 20150 Sugars and sugar syrups, and other industrial applications.
