Baking powders; prepared

HS code 210230 covers the classification of baking powders, which are essential ingredients in the production of a wide range of baked goods. Baking powders play a crucial role in the food industry, enabling the creation of light, fluffy, and well-risen baked products. This industry is a vital component of the broader food manufacturing sector, contributing to the availability of affordable and convenient baked goods for consumers worldwide.

The production of baking powders typically involves a combination of chemical and mechanical processes. The main ingredients, such as sodium bicarbonate, acidifying agents, and anti-caking agents, are carefully measured and combined. The mixture is then subjected to a milling or blending process to ensure a consistent and homogeneous powder. Packaging and storage are also important steps to maintain the quality and shelf-life of the final product.

The primary inputs for the baking powder industry include sodium bicarbonate, acidifying agents (such as cream of tartar or sodium aluminum sulfate), and anti-caking agents. Additionally, the industry may require specialized machinery for mixing, milling, and packaging the baking powder. 842220 Machinery for the industrial preparation or manufacture of food or drink
