“…To manage and evaluate the number of alternatives, and choose among the better ones, decision support is needed. Meeuse (2007) states that optimisation based mathematical programming has limited applicability for structured food products, due to the absence of rigorous models describing the relevant physical and chemical phenomena. However, to determine the boundary conditions within which a certain process pathway is preferable, only a limited level of detail is needed.…”

“…For example, computer‐aided molecular design has been commonly used to design molecular and formulated products. [ 5‐10 ] However, despite the numerous studies in the past two decades that provide domain‐specific knowledge for designing various types of chemical products, [ 11‐48 ] as summarized in Table S1, a general design framework for chemical devices such as air purifiers, [ 38 ] catalytic converter, [ 39,40 ] hemodialysis device, [ 41 ] biosensor, [ 42,43 ] dehumidifier, [ 44‐47 ] and osmotic pump [ 48 ] is still missing. Consequently, the design of chemical devices is still largely done by trial and error based on the engineer's knowledge and experience.…”

Chemical devices are chemical products that transform a feed stream into an outlet stream with the desired attributes by performing reaction, fluid flow, heating, cooling, and/or separations. They resemble small chemical plants and can be described by device flowsheets, similar to the process flowsheets of chemical plants. This article proposes a generic design framework for chemical devices. It shares some steps with Douglas' hierarchical design procedure for chemical processes but has its own distinguishing features such as capturing of consumer preferences, formulation of an engineering statement, and the use of unconventional processing techniques in device manufacturing. Two examples, domestic dehumidifier and air purifier, are discussed to illustrate the design framework. A new dehumidifier design was found using this framework.

“…Decision support models from PSE are widely used in chemical industries, but are not directly applicable or extendable to the food industry, due to the difference between types of production processes and between typical chemical products and food products (Hadiyanto et al, 2008;Meeuse, 2007). Food products are generally made from several intermediates, containing multiple chemical components.…”

“…The quality of a final food product depends not only on the chemical composition of all the ingredients, but also on the functionality of these ingredients, and how they are distributed in the food through processing. The creaminess of ice cream, for instance, depends on the composition of the intermediates used, like fat, but also on the size of air-bubbles and ice-crystals inside the ice cream resulting from processing (Meeuse, 2007). Such processing effects make food processing different from other (chemical) processing (Datta, 2016).…”

“…The consequence on the resulting intermediates and on the final combination of process steps in the fractionation pathway is unfortunately hard to predict. The product properties are not only determined by chemical composition, but also by the distribution of components through the product and product-process interactions (Meeuse, 2007). The understanding of these interactions at the product and process level is still limited (Datta, 2016), and accounting for the relevant interactions can require detailed non-linear models (Ho et al, 2013).…”

the inefficiencies in the food production system (van der Goot et al., 2016). To guarantee a controlled quality of final consumer products, the food assembly industry mainly uses dry and purified intermediates, purchased from the agro-food industry. The production of these intermediates is disconnected from the production of the final consumer products, and requires water and energy-intensive processing steps (van der Goot et al., 2016). Additionally, the yield of processing generally reduces when higher purity has to be obtained (Tamayo Tenorio et al., 2018). Hence, reconsidering the disconnection between intermediate production in agro-food industry and the production of final consumer products in the food assembly industry supports a more resource efficient production of food. Figure 1.2: The sequential development of process pathways in the food industry over time Due to its origin in chemical engineering, the field of PSE has a strong focus on products, production technologies, and process pathways. Over time, the scope extended to include more and more aspects of an enterprise and the related SC, and started to link to the fields of Operational Research and SCM (Grossmann, 2005; Barbosa-Póvoa, 2014). The field of SCM focuses on value creation in the SC through optimising the flows of products, money, and information (Chopra & Meindl, 2015). Compared to PSE it has a stronger emphasis on logistics and distribution while product and production characteristics are typically not considered explicitly. However, products and production characteristics have recently become more important due to the developments in Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SSCM) and Closed Loop Supply Chains (CLSCs). The extension of SCM towards SSCM has shifted the focus from creating economic value to include environmental and social objectives (Soysal et al., 2012). Commonly, Life Cycle also the time of availability varies. In Chapter 4, an approach is studied to identify SC configurations that perform well under these uncertainties and take into account the specific characteristics of agro-food processing chains. At the network level, an agro-food industrial company is collaborating with other actors. The industry depends on primary producers, the farmers, to produce and supply agromaterials. The objectives of these farmers have to be aligned with those of the agro-food industry for the industry to be able to purchase the desired quantity of agro-materials. Chapter 5 explores benefit sharing between the agro-food industry and farmers as a means to align the individual objectives of farmers and processors in SC design. Building on the insights from the previous chapters, Chapter 6 discusses the applicability to the food industry and directions for future research to further benefit from the symbiosis between PSE and SCM in the context of food processing chains.
