Study on Pepper Decorticating Technology and Equipment

This paper introduces the common ways for pepper decorticating and the current status of their applications and effects. According to the actual needs of market development and our analysis on peppers’ physical structures, three kinds of decorticating principles are put forward which include spiral, frictional and centrifugal decorticators and their mechanisms and advantages are analyzed in detail respectively, which will be highly instructive to the research of pepper decorticating equipment.
