Albumins (including concentrates of two or more whey proteins, containing by weight more than 80% whey proteins, calculated on the dry matter), albuminates and other albumin derivatives
HS v2017 Code: 3502
About albumins (including concentrates of two or more whey proteins, containing by weight more than 80% whey proteins, calculated on the dry matter), albuminates and other albumin derivatives
HS code 3502 covers a diverse range of albumin-based products, including concentrates of whey proteins, albuminates, and other albumin derivatives. These products play a crucial role in various industries, from food and beverage to pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. As a key component in many formulations, the albumins described under this code are essential for maintaining the structural integrity, emulsifying properties, and nutritional value of a wide array of consumer and industrial goods.
Production process
The production of albumins and related derivatives typically involves the extraction, purification, and concentration of proteins from various sources, such as egg whites or milk. This process often includes steps like coagulation, filtration, and drying to obtain the desired albumin-rich products. Specialized techniques, such as ion exchange chromatography or membrane filtration, may be employed to further refine and concentrate the albumin content.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of HS code 3502 products include raw materials like egg whites, milk, or other protein-rich sources. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized equipment and machinery for the various processing steps, such as centrifuges, evaporators, and drying units. Chemical reagents, such as acids or bases, may also be used to facilitate the extraction and purification of the albumins.
Production outputs
The outputs of the HS code 3502 industry include a wide range of albumin-based products, such as 3502 (Albumins (including concentrates of two or more whey proteins, containing by weight more than 80% whey proteins, calculated on the dry matter), albuminates and other albumin derivatives), 3501 Casein, caseinates and other casein derivatives; casein glues, and 3504 Peptones and their derivatives; other protein substances and their derivatives, not elsewhere specified or included; hide powder, whether or not chromed. These outputs are then used as ingredients or functional components in various industries, including food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and industrial applications.
