Detailed background data
It has been assumed that the food processing industry is located in Denmark. Ingredients from One Kitchen (2018), recipe for home cooking. The mass balance includes estimated wastage of pepper (seeding, etc.) and water evaporation during frying, based on the dry mass of the ingredients and that of the final product by Mc Donalds (2020). Manufacturing considers two processes taken from Agribalyse database (ADEME 2020c; 2020j): deep frying (electricity + oil consumption) and freezing, approximated as beef freezing. Retail is modelled assuming the following storage: Frozen. See more details as well as literature references in the methodoly report on: www.denstoreklimadatabase.dk.
Data on inputs and outputs of the food processing industry is modelled using: One Kitchen (2018); Mc Donalds (2020); ADEME (2020c); ADEME (2020j).
