Wholegrain brown mustard

1. Scope and Applicability

This PCR addresses a specific wet condiment: wholegrain brown mustard made from cleaned Brassica juncea seed, fermented alcohol vinegar, potable water and food-grade salt, retaining the seed coats. The representative route is receipt, recipe dosing and steeping, wet milling, holding, conditional deaeration, jar filling, closure and gate storage. Seed cultivation and supplier cleaning, vinegar fermentation and purchased utility production remain upstream. This gate-to-gate foreground does not by itself establish complete cradle-to-gate coverage.

CPC 3.0 23995 also includes other sauces, mixed condiments, mustard flour and meal and other prepared mustards. These remain outside this PCR. Smooth sieved Dijon mustard, mustard powder, mustard oil, mustard vegetables, oil-rich dressings, added sugar/spice/wine recipes, and deliberate fermentation of the mustard at the site require another reviewed method or scope extension. Thermal preservation, refrigeration and on-site combustion are not prescribed or assumed absent in every factory: the selected nonthermal, electricity-driven route must be confirmed. A factory that performs those additional operations must extend its process inventory with measured atomic exchanges before claiming completeness.

This document provides LCA data-production rules, not food-safety approval or a processing recipe. It sets no temperature, time, ingredient ratio or shelf life.

4. Measurement and Unit Rules

rule_id	Applies to	Required property	Required unit	Rule
reference_mass	reference product	Mass 93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66	kg	Use 1 kg net released wet mustard; weigh output with cp_output and exclude tare, rejects and internally circulated rework.
water_mass	recipe_water; clean_water; wash_effluent	Mass	kg	Record kg directly or convert metered volume using measured density and temperature for the particular water or effluent; do not equate supply with effluent.
electricity_unit	receipt_electricity; mix_electricity; pack_electricity; clean_electricity	Net calorific value 93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200c9a66	kWh	Preserve the public reference property name. Its verified Units of energy group has MJ as reference unit and kWh factor 3.6: 1 kWh = 3.6 MJ. Record actual electrical supply as CN grid-average user-side AC below 1 kV; do not infer fuel calorific value or thermal heat from the property label. Other voltage, country or generation-side supplies require a separately verified identity and provider.
solution_mass	vinegar; alkali	Mass	kg	Report supplied solution mass and separately measured concentration; active acid or alkali mass cannot replace solution mass.

5. System Boundary

Boundary Abstraction

Field	Value
declared_starting_condition	Purchased cleaned brown mustard seed and separately supplied vinegar, salt and potable water at the plant; actual incoming moisture, supplier, lot and accepted mass declared
starting_condition_role	Upstream product input to foreground manufacturing
product_classification_scope	Narrow representative prepared-mustard subset of CPC 23995
recursive_input_rule	Internal rework is tracked once without a new external input; purchased same-category mustard is a distinct upstream input with a supplier dataset and requires recipe/scope disclosure
upstream_dataset_requirement	Link seed cultivation and supplier cleaning, vinegar fermentation, salt, water supply, electricity, each packaging component, cleaning chemical and external waste treatment; otherwise disclose incomplete upstream coverage
disclosure	Declare facility, route, production period, inventory cut-offs, input suppliers, on-site storage, waste destinations and each absent or additional process

rule_id	Applies to	Rule	source_ids
boundary_route	foreground manufacturing	Include receipt, dosing, steeping, wet milling, holding, actual deaeration, packing, gate storage and sanitation; do not add smooth-mustard husk sieving to the wholegrain route.	fallot-mustard-manufacturing; charbonneaux-wholegrain-mustard
boundary_links	upstream and downstream	This foreground starts with delivered ingredients. Upstream agriculture and supply burdens require distinct linked datasets; distribution, retail, consumption and package end-of-life are outside. Do not call a package with missing upstream links complete cradle-to-gate.
boundary_releases	water and air interfaces	External-treatment wash effluent is a waste flow. The representative purchased-water, electric route has no assumed abstraction, stack emission or direct aquatic discharge. Investigate direct releases; add each measured chemical, origin and compartment as a separate elementary row if present, and disclose unresolved releases without inventing mandatory factors.

6. Process Inventory Structure

Process Map

process_id	process_name	inclusion	inclusion_condition	role	quantitative_reference
receipt	Receipt and lot inspection	required	Accept cleaned brown seed; upstream seed cleaning is excluded.	foreground manufacturing	1 kg reference flow
mix	Steeping, wet milling and holding	required	Dose four ingredients; retain seed coats; record milling passes, holding and conditional deaeration.	foreground manufacturing	1 kg reference flow
pack	Filling, closure, labelling and gate storage	required	Pack in glass jars with declared closures, paper labels and corrugated boxes.	foreground manufacturing	1 kg reference flow
clean	Sanitation and effluent handoff	required	Measure actual water, electricity and chemicals; export effluent to external treatment.	foreground manufacturing	1 kg reference flow

Intermediates from receipt through filling are internal transfers within one site model, recorded in lot balances, not additional external products. Conditional operations are deaeration and use of the exact 30% alkali solution. Purchased cleaned seed removes the need to presume a seed-cleaning line at this site. No bran coproduct is inherent because coats are retained.

7. Allocation and Co-product Handling

rule_id	Applies to	Rule	source_ids
allocation_direct	shared equipment and sanitation	First subdivide with product-line meters and batch records. Allocate shared electricity or cleaning only using measured operating load/time or the documented cleaning cycle serving the lot; reconcile allocated totals with facility records. Product mass alone is not proof of energy causation.
allocation_rework	rework and waste	Track internal paste rework once; rejected seed, discarded mustard and packaging scrap incur actual treatment burdens. Do not assume saleable bran or grant avoided-product credit to discarded material. A real marketed coproduct requires documented mass, function, value and a reviewed allocation extension.

Q must be positive and measured by cp_output.	cp_output; cp_material; cp_water; cp_power; cp_pack; cp_clean; cp_waste; cp_effluent	normalized inventory
lot_balance	food ingredients and mustard	Reconcile ingredient receipts, stock changes, released output, rejected seed, discarded paste, paste entering effluent and retained work-in-progress. Internal rework is not another receipt. Investigate differences against recorded measurement uncertainty; never label unexplained residuals as emissions.	cp_output; cp_material; cp_waste; cp_effluent	lot closure statement
component_mass	each packaging row	If issued by count, multiply count by measured representative component tare in kg; reconcile rejected and returned components, keeping consumed packaging and product net mass separate.	cp_pack; cp_waste	component kg

Data Quality Requirements

requirement_id	Applies to	Requirement	Evidence
dq_route	scope	Confirm brown seed, retained coats, complete four-ingredient recipe and nonthermal purchased-water/electric route; report all additional operations explicitly.	process diagram; recipe; supplier records
dq_period	all exchanges	Use one stated representative complete period for inputs, output and losses; disclose seasonality, missing runs, shared allocation and measurement uncertainty.	dated ledger; calibration; coverage report
dq_identity	all flows and providers	Resolve each specific exchange against its state, property and supply/treatment route; disclose blank UUIDs. A matched name alone does not validate supplier burdens.	supplier and treatment documentation; identity assessment

9. Validation Rules

rule_id	Applies to	Rule	source_ids
validate_reference	mustard_output	Require 1 kg net wet output, matching reference-product name, cp_output, positive released net mass and all required qualifiers; reject drained or dry-seed denominators.
validate_process	process inventory	Require all four processes and the same 1 kg reference denominator; check declared conditional absence with production records. Unlisted actual chemicals, direct emissions or preservation operations require explicit atomic rows before a completeness claim.
validate_balance	materials, energy and wastewater	Reconcile batch and utility totals, separate recipe from cleaning water, preserve concentration and property units, check waste destination and avoid rework double counting. Report unresolved differences and upstream coverage.

10. Published Dataset Profile

charbonneaux-wholegrain-mustard	literature	Charbonneaux-Brabant, A mustard seed rich in character, sections seed/verjuice and Whole Grain mustard (undated manufacturer page). https://www.vinaigre.com/en/expertise/the-mustard	Independent manufacturer evidence for brown-seed wholegrain identity and no husk sieving; does not establish industry-wide recipe, safety or electricity use

The selected four-ingredient, nonthermal route and data-collection rules define a bounded representative dataset design; actual factory records must demonstrate applicability. Manufacturer web pages describe their own products and do not establish current market shares or default quantitative factors.
