Manufacture of starches and starch products

NACE v2.0 Code: C10.62

About manufacture of starches and starch products

NACE code 10.62 covers the manufacture of starches and starch products, a critical industry that plays a vital role in various sectors of the economy. Starches are versatile natural polymers derived from a range of agricultural sources, including corn, wheat, potatoes, and cassava. This industry's outputs are widely used as ingredients, additives, and processing aids in the food, paper, textile, and other industries, making it an essential component of the broader manufacturing landscape.

Production process

The production of starches and starch products typically involves a series of mechanical and chemical processes. The key steps include the extraction of starch from raw materials, purification, and modification (if required) to obtain the desired properties. Depending on the end-use application, starches may undergo further processing, such as gelatinization, hydrolysis, or cross-linking, to enhance their functional characteristics.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the manufacture of starches and starch products are the raw agricultural materials, such as corn, wheat, potatoes, and cassava. Additionally, this industry requires specialized processing equipment, including mills, centrifuges, and drying systems. Water, chemicals (e.g., acids, enzymes), and energy sources are also essential inputs for the various stages of starch production.

Production outputs

The main outputs of the starch manufacturing industry are a diverse range of starch-based products, including native starches, modified starches, and starch derivatives. These outputs are widely used as ingredients, additives, and processing aids in the 10.8 Manufacture of food products, 17.1 Manufacture of pulp, paper and paperboard, 13.1 Preparation and spinning of textile fibres, and other industries. The starch industry's outputs are crucial for maintaining the quality, texture, and functionality of a wide array of consumer and industrial products.
