Detailed background data
It has been assumed that the food processing industry is located in Denmark. Ingredients taken from the actual product reported by CONCITO, as shown in Nemlig (2020k). Both soy protein isolate and soy concentrate modelled as soy isolate. Other ingredients are quantified by assigning them to a given nutrient (sugar, fat, etc.) and the total dry mass content of 33.8% in the final product is achieved by balancing with spices. Other minor ingredients are excluded. Manufacturing takes data from Agribalyse for sausage preparation and freezing (as beef freezing) (ADEME 2020b; 2020c). Retail is modelled assuming the following storage: Frozen. See more details as well as literature references in the methodoly report on: www.denstoreklimadatabase.dk.
