Microbial fats and oils and their fractions; partly or wholly hydrogenated, inter-esterified, re-esterified or elaidinised, whether or not refined, but not further prepared

HS v2022 Code: 151630

About microbial fats and oils and their fractions; partly or wholly hydrogenated, inter-esterified, re-esterified or elaidinised, whether or not refined, but not further prepared

HS code 151630 covers a range of microbial fats and oils that have undergone various processing techniques such as hydrogenation, inter-esterification, and re-esterification. These products are widely used in the food, cosmetic, and industrial sectors, playing a crucial role in the global economy. They serve as important ingredients, lubricants, and raw materials for a diverse array of applications.

Production process

The production of the goods covered by HS code 151630 typically involves several key steps. Microbial fats and oils are first extracted from various sources, such as microorganisms, algae, or fungi. These raw materials are then subjected to processes like hydrogenation, inter-esterification, or re-esterification to modify their physical and chemical properties. The resulting products may be further refined, but not prepared for specific end-uses.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of goods under HS code 151630 include the microbial raw materials, such as 151211 Sunflower-seed or safflower oil and fractions thereof, whether or not refined, but not chemically modified, 151219 Sunflower-seed or safflower oil and fractions thereof, whether or not refined, but not chemically modified, and 151411 Low erucic acid rape or colza oil and its fractions. Additionally, specialized equipment and machinery for the various processing techniques, as well as energy sources and other utilities, are essential inputs for this industry.

Production outputs

The outputs of the industry covered by HS code 151630 are primarily the microbial fats and oils that have undergone hydrogenation, inter-esterification, re-esterification, or elaidinization. These products are widely used as ingredients in the food industry, particularly in the manufacture of 190120 Mixes and doughs for the preparation of bakers' wares of heading 1905, 210690 Food preparations not elsewhere specified or included, and 340600 Candles, tapers and the like. They also find applications in the cosmetic and personal care industry, as well as in various industrial processes.
