The present application relates to the field of food
fermentation, and particularly relates to a process for producing fermented peppers by sectional
fermentation, and specific steps of the process are as follows: step S1: the peppers are placed in a freezer, put into a
crusher, stirred, passed through an 8-12 mm
sieve plate, and then placed in a separator, passed through a
sieve, to obtain seed residues and pepper pulp; the present application separates the seed residues and the pulp after freezing the peppers, and performs compound
protease enzymolysis treatment on the seed residues, effectively releasing the
protein and
flavor precursor substances in the seed residues, significantly improving the
amino acid nitrogen content and sauce
flavor intensity of the fermented peppers; meanwhile, the sectional salt addition and sectional
temperature control fermentation strategies are adopted,
low salt is added first to promote the rapid start of microorganisms to produce acid, and then salt is added to regulate the
metabolism of the microbial
population, which not only inhibits the
contamination of miscellaneous
bacteria, but also avoids the continuous inhibition of the fermentation activity in a high-salt environment, greatly shortening the fermentation period.
