About casein, caseinates and other casein derivatives; casein glues

HS code 3501 covers the production and trade of casein, caseinates, and other casein derivatives. Casein is a protein derived from milk, and it has a wide range of industrial applications, including in the food, adhesive, and textile industries. As a key ingredient in many products, the casein industry plays an important role in the broader agricultural and manufacturing sectors.

Production process

Casein is typically produced by coagulating milk proteins through the addition of acids or enzymes. The resulting curds are then washed, dried, and processed into various forms, such as powders, granules, or solutions. Caseinates and other casein derivatives are produced through further chemical modifications to alter the properties of the casein for specific applications.

Production inputs

The main inputs for the casein industry are raw milk and dairy products. Specialized processing equipment, such as centrifuges, dryers, and chemical reactors, are also required. Additionally, the industry relies on various chemicals and additives to produce the desired casein derivatives and formulations.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the casein industry are casein, caseinates, and other casein-based products. These materials are used in a variety of industries, including 3505 Glues, 3917 Plastics, 3919 Photographic, and 3920 Textiles. Casein is also a key ingredient in many food products, such as cheese, dairy-based desserts, and protein supplements.
