Albumins; egg albumin, dried

HS v2022 Code: 350211

About albumins; egg albumin, dried

HS code 350211 covers the import and export of dried egg albumin, a critical ingredient in a wide range of food, pharmaceutical, and industrial products. Egg albumin is a highly versatile protein derived from the white of chicken eggs, and its unique functional properties make it an essential component in numerous applications across various industries. This code plays a significant role in the global food and beverage supply chain, as well as in the production of medical and personal care items.

Production process

The production of dried egg albumin typically involves the separation of the egg white from the yolk, followed by a drying process to remove the moisture content. This can be achieved through techniques such as spray drying, freeze-drying, or drum drying, which preserve the protein's structure and functional properties. The dried albumin is then processed, packaged, and distributed for use in a variety of end products.

Production inputs

The primary input for the production of dried egg albumin is, of course, fresh eggs. Egg producers and processors must ensure a consistent supply of high-quality eggs to meet the demand for this versatile ingredient. Additionally, the production process may require specialized equipment, such as drying chambers, separators, and packaging machinery, as well as energy sources and other ancillary materials.

Production outputs

Dried egg albumin produced under HS code 350211 is a widely used ingredient in the food, pharmaceutical, and industrial sectors. It is commonly found in baked goods, confectionery, and processed foods, where it acts as a binding, foaming, and emulsifying agent. Additionally, egg albumin is used in the manufacture of 300610 Pharmaceutical goods and 340490 Lubricating preparations, among other applications.
