About vegetable saps and extracts; of liquorice

HS code 130212 covers the trade of vegetable saps and extracts derived from the liquorice plant. Liquorice is a perennial herb native to various regions across Europe and Asia, and its roots have been used for centuries in traditional medicine and as a flavoring agent. The global liquorice extract market is a significant component of the broader food and pharmaceutical industries, valued at billions of dollars annually and experiencing steady growth as demand for natural ingredients continues to rise.

Production process

The production of liquorice extracts typically involves harvesting the roots of the liquorice plant, cleaning and drying them, and then extracting the desired compounds through various methods. Common techniques include boiling the roots in water to create a concentrated liquid, or using solvents to selectively isolate the active compounds. The extracted liquids are then further refined and processed to meet the specific requirements of end-use applications.

Production inputs

The primary input for this industry is the liquorice root, which must be sourced from regions where the plant is cultivated. Other key inputs include the equipment and machinery used for harvesting, drying, and extraction, as well as any additional processing chemicals or materials required to refine the final product. Energy sources, such as electricity or fuel, are also necessary to power the production facilities.

Production outputs

The main output of HS code 130212 is the liquorice extract itself, which can be used as a flavoring agent in various food and beverage products, or as an active ingredient in pharmaceutical and personal care formulations. The extracts may also be further processed or combined with other ingredients to create specialized products. Other 121120 Liquorice roots may be consumed as a raw material by this industry.
