Problems solved by technology

Due to limited conditions, most enterprises or farmers process white pepper by soaking in still water. The taste of white pepper processed in this way is not pure, the color of pepper is poor, and it will become moldy after a long storage time. Moreover, the soaking wastewater will pollute the surrounding environment, and the processing takes a long time. , high labor intensity and low work efficiency; and when washing, some seeds sandwiched in the peel and fruit stem are often washed away or fished out together, resulting in product loss

The processing of black pepper is rougher, mainly in the sun on the ground, which is easily affected by the weather, easy to mold, has many impurities, and poor appearance. It is difficult for the product to meet the national hygiene standards, which seriously affects the export of pepper in my country.
