Detailed background data
It has been assumed that the food processing industry is located in Denmark. Sesame seeds undergo a wet process to remove hulls containing oxalic acid. No specfic data on this process, which is approximated by the cashew nut roasting process in Nigeria (Jekayinfa and Bamgboye 2006). The mass balance onlyy considers that the hull is removed, representing 17% of the seed weight (Byzencyclopedia 2020). Retail is modelled assuming the following storage: Ambient. 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: Byzencyclopedia (2020); Jekayinfa and Bamgboye (2006).
