Sichuan pepper is a spice native to China, and its unique numbing flavor makes many foodies unable to resist, as well as those who are new to the numbing taste hesitant. With the popularity of spicy flavor throughout the country, China's professional research on Sichuan pepper has become increasingly in-depth. There is a certain amount of data support for the sources and detection methods of the numbing and fragrant flavors in Sichuan pepper, forming relatively complete detection standards.
The aroma of Szechwan pepper mainly comes from volatile substances, also known as essential oils, which are composed of various compounds such as terpenes, alcohols, esters, aldehydes, ketones, ethers, etc. The main components include d-limonene, linalool, linalool acetate, juniper, and myrcene, among which d-limonene and linalool are the most important aroma components. Related studies have shown that there are over 100 volatile oil components in Szechwan pepper.
China has a long history of Chinese pepper application, and the main consumers of Chinese pepper are catering enterprises, food enterprises, and household consumers. With the improvement of people's living standards and the popularization and popularity of Sichuan cuisine, the demand for Chinese pepper is showing a diversified trend, and the consumption of Chinese pepper continues to increase. Compared to rough processed products such as Chinese pepper granules and powder, Chinese pepper seasoning oil represents deep processed Chinese pepper products with high standardization, good solubility, and high utilization rate of effective ingredients, which are expected to continue to replace rough processed products. In addition, as a sub category of Chinese pepper oil, Tengjiao oil has a stronger universality in taste. In recent years, its market size has continued to expand, from Sichuan and Chongqing to the whole country, becoming a typical case of regional flavor nationalization. On the basis of the continuous and steady growth of Chinese pepper consumption, the market demand for Chinese pepper oil and related sesame seasoning oils that better meet consumer needs is expected to continue to grow.
