The global pectic substances market is expected to grow steadily in the coming years, driven by the increasing demand for natural and plant-based ingredients in various applications.

Production process

Pectic substances are typically extracted from citrus fruits, apples, and other plant materials through a process of acid or enzymatic hydrolysis. The raw materials are first cleaned, chopped, and then subjected to extraction using solvents or enzymes. The extracted pectic substances are then purified, concentrated, and dried to produce the final product.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of pectic substances include the raw plant materials, such as citrus peels, apple pomace, and other fruit and vegetable byproducts. Additionally, the production process may require various chemicals, enzymes, and equipment, such as extraction vessels, filtration systems, and drying equipment.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of HS code 130220 are pectic substances, pectinates, and pectates, which are widely used in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. These compounds are often consumed by industries covered under other HS codes, such as 210690 Food preparations not elsewhere specified or included, 300490 Medicaments consisting of mixed or unmixed products for therapeutic or prophylactic uses, and 330499 Beauty or make-up preparations and preparations for the care of the skin, among others.
