Ph.D. thesis (Wageningen University, The Netherlands). Conclusion of abstract states, "It was found that often a significant lack of knowledge in the true efficiency of the production process exists. A PYA (production yield analysis) makes it possible to calculate the true yield efficiency of the process. This information is needed to convince management about the necessity to reduce unwanted losses. Not only to improve economics but also to improve aspects of modern sustainable food processing." In the thesis objectives: "This thesis explores two different food processes and shows how true yield efficiency can be calculated and significantly improves results based on a structural systematic approach. This approach is primarily directed to minimize unwanted mass losses at source." Published in English with summaries in English and Dutch.
