Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Physical friction applied before retting effectively reduced the production time of white pepper.
- Observation Pectinase activity increased during the retting process.
- Observation Pectin content of the pepper pericarp decreased during retting.
- Association Changes in pH, pectin content and peeling rate were significantly correlated with the Shannon diversity index of bacteria and fungi.
- Mechanism Monosaccharides degraded from the pepper pericarp could have been utilized by microbes through sugar metabolism pathways.
- Observation The metabolic pathways of carbohydrates and amino acids were the main pathways altered during the pepper peeling process.
- Mechanism Degradation of pectin into galacturonic acid by polygalacturonase was identified as the key step in shortening the pepper peeling time.
- Observation The structure of the pepper pericarp collapsed after losing pectin support, as revealed by scanning electron microscopy.
- Mechanism Decomposition of the pepper pericarp was driven by key microbiota.
- Mechanism The succession of microbial communities was influenced by the metabolites of the pepper pericarp during retting.
