Manufacture of margarine and similar edible fats

NACE v2.0 Code: C10.42

About manufacture of margarine and similar edible fats

NACE code 10.42 covers the manufacture of margarine and similar edible fats. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader food production and processing sector, providing an essential ingredient for a wide range of food products. Margarine and similar fats are used extensively in the preparation of baked goods, confectionery, and other food items, making this industry a vital component of the overall food supply chain.

Production process

The production of margarine and similar edible fats typically involves a multi-step process. The key steps include the extraction and refining of vegetable oils, the hydrogenation or interesterification of the oils to achieve the desired texture and melting properties, and the blending and emulsification of the fats with other ingredients such as water, milk solids, and flavourings. Advanced processing techniques, including the use of continuous production lines and automated packaging, have helped to improve efficiency and consistency in this industry.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the manufacture of margarine and similar edible fats are vegetable oils, such as 10.41 Manufacture of oils and fats, as well as other ingredients like milk solids, emulsifiers, and flavourings. Specialized machinery and equipment, such as hydrogenation reactors, blending tanks, and packaging lines, are also essential for the production process.

Production outputs

The main outputs of this industry are margarine, spreads, and other edible fats that are used in a wide range of food products. These outputs are often consumed by 10.71 Manufacture of bread; manufacture of fresh pastry goods and cakes, 10.72 Manufacture of rusks and biscuits; manufacture of preserved pastry goods and cakes, and 10.82 Manufacture of cocoa, chocolate and sugar confectionery industries, among others.
