Yeasts; inactive, other single-cell micro-organisms, dead

HS code 210220 covers the trade of inactive yeasts and other dead single-cell microorganisms. These products are widely used in various industries, including food, pharmaceuticals, and agriculture, due to their unique properties and applications. As a crucial component in many manufacturing processes, the global market for these specialized microbial products continues to grow, reflecting their importance in the broader economy.

The production of inactive yeasts and other dead single-cell microorganisms typically involves a multi-step fermentation process. This process begins with the cultivation of the desired microbial strains in a controlled environment, often using specialized growth media. The microorganisms are then harvested, processed, and subjected to various treatments to inactivate or kill them, preserving their desired properties and characteristics.

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 210220 products include the raw materials necessary for microbial cultivation, such as nutrient-rich growth media, bioreactors, and other specialized equipment. Additionally, the production process may require various processing aids, such as drying or stabilizing agents, to ensure the final product meets the necessary quality and safety standards.

The primary outputs of HS code 210220 are inactive yeasts and other dead single-cell microorganisms, which find applications in a wide range of industries. These products are often used as food additives, dietary supplements, or as ingredients in the production of 210690 Food preparations not elsewhere specified or included. Additionally, they may be utilized in the manufacturing of 300490 Medicaments, put up for retail sale, as well as in agricultural applications, such as 310100 Animal or vegetable fertilizers, where they can serve as soil amendments or biostimulants.
