Problems solved by technology

Peeling is the most important step in the processing of white pepper. At present, the traditional wet processing is the main method for white pepper processing. The ripe fresh pepper fruits are packed into bags and then soaked in "still water" or "running water" until the peel rots. , It usually takes 7-15 days to complete, and the water needs to be changed. There are defects such as long processing cycle, large water consumption, high labor intensity, easy to produce rancid smell, and product microorganisms exceed the standard, resulting in poor quality of white pepper products. A large amount of sewage is produced, labor efficiency is low, resulting in low utilization rate of product processing, it is difficult to develop deep-processed products, and the added value is low, which leads to the lack of market competitiveness of products, seriously restricts the international trade of pepper products in my country, and cannot meet the current scale of pepper processing , The development requirements of industrialization have hindered the sustainable development of the domestic pepper planting and processing industry
