Caseinates and other casein derivatives; casein glues

HS code 350190 covers a range of products derived from casein, a protein found in milk. These casein-based materials have a wide variety of industrial and commercial applications, making them an important part of the broader food, adhesive, and chemical industries. Caseinates and other casein derivatives serve as key ingredients and additives, contributing functional properties that are essential for many manufacturing processes and end-products.

The production of caseinates and other casein derivatives typically involves the extraction and purification of casein from milk. This is often done through acidification or enzymatic coagulation, followed by drying, grinding, and further chemical modifications to create the desired casein-based products. The specific techniques can vary depending on the intended application and the particular casein derivative being produced.

The main inputs for this industry include raw milk, as well as various chemicals, enzymes, and processing equipment necessary for the extraction, purification, and modification of the casein. Manufacturers may also require packaging materials, energy sources, and other supporting infrastructure to facilitate the production and distribution of these casein-based products.

The outputs of HS code 350190 include a range of casein-derived materials, such as caseinates, casein glues, and other casein derivatives.
