Glycosides; rutoside (rutin) and its derivatives

HS code 293810 covers glycosides, which are a class of organic compounds consisting of a sugar molecule bonded to a non-carbohydrate moiety. Glycosides play a vital role in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food processing. This code is particularly important for the production of rutoside (rutin) and its derivatives, which have a wide range of applications and are in high demand globally.

The production of glycosides, including rutoside (rutin) and its derivatives, typically involves a multi-step process. The first step is the extraction of the raw materials, which may include plant materials or other natural sources. This is followed by purification and isolation of the desired glycoside compound using techniques such as chromatography, crystallization, or other separation methods. Finally, the glycoside may undergo further chemical modifications or derivatization to produce the desired end product.

The main inputs required for the production of glycosides under HS code 293810 include various plant materials, such as herbs, fruits, and flowers, as well as specialized equipment for extraction, purification, and chemical synthesis. Additionally, the industry may rely on a range of chemical reagents, solvents, and catalysts to facilitate the production process.

The primary outputs of the industry covered by HS code 293810 are glycosides, including rutoside (rutin) and its derivatives. These compounds find applications in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food industries. For example, rutoside (rutin) is used as a dietary supplement and in the production of 300490 Medicaments. Other glycoside derivatives may be used in the formulation of 330499 Cosmetic or toilet preparations, or as food additives under 210690 Food preparations not elsewhere specified or included.
