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 v2022 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 range of albumin-based products, including concentrates of whey proteins. Albumins are an important class of proteins derived from various sources, with a wide range of applications in the food, pharmaceutical, and industrial sectors. This industry plays a crucial role in the global economy, providing essential ingredients and materials for numerous downstream industries.

Production process

The production of albumins and related derivatives typically involves the extraction, purification, and processing of proteins from various sources, such as egg whites, milk, or blood. Key steps may include coagulation, filtration, drying, and further chemical modifications to obtain the desired product characteristics.

Production inputs

The main inputs for the 3502 industry include raw materials such as milk, eggs, and blood plasma, as well as specialized equipment for protein extraction, purification, and processing. Additionally, the industry relies on a range of chemicals, enzymes, and other additives to facilitate the production and modification of albumin-based products.

Production outputs

The outputs of the 3502 industry include a diverse range of albumin-based products, such as 3501 Casein and casein derivatives, 3503 Gelatin and gelatin derivatives, and 3504 Peptones and their derivatives; other protein substances and their derivatives, not elsewhere specified or included. These products find applications in the food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and industrial sectors, serving as ingredients, binders, emulsifiers, and more.
