Insights into the Correlation between Microbial Community Succession and Pericarp Degradation during Pepper (Piper nigrum L.) Peeling Process via Retting. [PDF]

Foods
White pepper, used both as a seasoning in people’s daily diets and as a medicinal herb, is typically produced by removing the pericarp of green pepper through the retting process. However, the mechanism of the retting process for peeling remains unclear.
