“…In the agroindustrial processes and process design, the determining role of quality as an early stage of the process design and its consideration as a parameter, it is little documented (Phadke and Dehnad, 1988). An example of this is the process design carried out for products derived from the sugar industry, where the technological scheme is sometimes established from the experimental data, without holistically considering economic, environmental, technological, and transversal quality aspects (Aguilar-Rivera, Galindo, Fortanelli, and Contreras, 2009;Rabassa-Olazábal et al, 2016;Rabassa Olazábal, González Suárez, Pérez Sánchez, Miño Valdés, and Pérez Martínez, 2015). Moreover, the use of simulations is incipient, as well as the emerging sequential procedures that contemplate it (Yu and Kopcha, 2017).…”
