Processing factors settings

Calculation settings

Table 124 Calculation settings for module Processing factors.
Name Type Description
Selected tier

SettingsTemplateType

Specifies all module settings should be set according to a pre-defined tier or using custom settings.
Apply processing factors

Boolean

Specified in table ProcessingFactor. If checked, processing factors are applied. Concentrations in the consumed food may be different from concentrations in the modelled food in monitoring programs (typically raw food) due to processing, such as peeling, washing, cooking etc. If unchecked, no processing information is used. This is in most (though not all) cases a worst-case assumption
Use distribution

Boolean

Probabilistic specifications of processing factors will be used
Ignore processing factors less than 1

Boolean

This setting will suppress the use of processing factors lower than 1 (it is used in the EFSA 2012 Pessimistic tier).

Uncertainty settings

Table 125 Uncertainty settings for module Processing factors.
Name Type Description
Resample processing factors

Boolean

Specifies whether processing factors are resampled from a parametric uncertainty distribution.
