Accelerated Production of White Pepper Using Integrated Mechanical and Enzymatic Solutions in an Automated Machine

The enzyme from Aspergillus versicolor A6 under solid state fermentation using agricultural waste as substrates were successfully produced by our group. Laboratory scale enzymatic retting for white pepper production was conducted using crude pectinase enzyme preparation found that decortications of...
