Demand for processed peppers is rising Mills create delicate, clean paprika

It is said that one side of the water and soil to raise one side of the people, did not expect that animals can also "go into the countryside and follow the customs". According to reports, the alpaca raised by a Chongqing girl has a very heavy taste, and often steals chili powder, as well as mustard, onions, and garlic, and eats it with relish. In recent years, with the popularity of Sichuan cuisine, Hunan cuisine and spicy hot pot in various places, more and more people have eaten chili peppers. Nowadays, processed products such as chili peppers and paprika have been put on the table as important food accompaniment materials and condiments, and have become indispensable seasonings in many people's daily meals.

Chili peppers are "imported" and are native to the tropical regions of Central and Latin America. Later, it was introduced to China, and was mainly distributed in Sichuan, Guizhou, Hunan, Yunnan, Shaanxi and other places in China. Pepper products have the functions of seasoning, sterilization, cold repellent, etc., and adding peppers to daily dishes has a good effect on warming the stomach and promoting digestion. With the rapid development of Sichuan cuisine, Hunan cuisine and hot pot catering industry, the market demand for pepper products has increased, which has promoted the expansion of pepper scale.

In recent years, China's pepper planting area and output continue to grow, pepper processing products demand climbed rapidly, pepper primary processing enterprises, deep processing enterprises continue to increase, so that pepper deep processing products are also becoming more and more abundant, there are pepper powder, pepper oil, pepper sauce, canned pepper, etc., at present, many pepper deep processing products have been exported to foreign countries, driving the rapid development of the pepper industry at the same time, but also improve added value, increase farmers' income.

It is understood that China's dried peppers are mainly processed into primary and deep-processed products such as chili powder, chili sauce, hot pot base, etc., as condiments for residents' daily cooking, snack food accessories and seasonings for the catering industry. As far as paprika is concerned, it is mainly a mixture of dried chili peppers, chili seeds and some chili pepper stalks that have been crushed and sterilized. Among them, chili crushing is an important part of ensuring that the taste of chili powder is delicate and free of impurities.

In the past, the production of paprika mostly relied on manual grinding by hand through stone mills or mills, the grinding time was long, the labor intensity was large, the production capacity was not high, and it would also be subject to external pollution and foreign matter in the milling process, and the taste of paprika was poor, there were impurities, and the quality was unstable. With the upgrading of market consumption, people's taste, quality and safety requirements for products such as chili powder are improving, and it is obvious that the traditional manual crushing and milling methods have been difficult to meet the market's requirements for the taste and high quality of chili powder.

Nowadays, thanks to the in-depth development of the food crushing equipment industry and the progress of technology and technology, the milling and crushing of paprika has been automated and mechanized, and the level of automation has been greatly improved, which has greatly reduced the labor intensity and improved the production capacity of paprika. Not only that, because the paprika is pressed, sheared, impacted by the crusher, and under the action of coarse crushing and fine crushing, the powder is more delicate, and there is no manual participation in the crushing process, and the paprika is cleaner, hygienic, free of impurities, and the quality is stable and guaranteed.

Chili pepper is not only an important condiment in the daily diet of the broad masses of the people, but also a pillar industry of agriculture in some areas, a "cash cow" for growers to increase their income and become rich, and plays an important role in promoting rural economic development and increasing farmers' income. In the context of the rapid development of Sichuan cuisine, Hunan cuisine and hot pot catering industry, coupled with the demand for chili condiments in the daily cooking of many residents, chili noodles and other chili products still have huge consumption potential. Pepper processing enterprises continue to improve the quality of pepper noodle processing, but also to improve the pepper deep processing capacity and R & D and innovation capabilities, can not keep up with the market demand to develop new pepper products, extend the industrial chain, to the market to bring a variety of pepper taste buds experience.
