Kalsec Szechuan pepper extract

Friday, 09 November, 2012 | Supplied by: Columbit Australia


Kalsec has increased its portfolio of peppers with the addition of Szechuan pepper extract. Szechuan (or Sichuan) peppers have a citrus and herbal aroma that is different from black, white or chilli peppers.

Its active ingredient, sanshools, delivers a tingling, numbing sensation in the mouth. The Szechuan plant belongs to the citrus family and is not botanically related to the black pepper or chilli pepper. Szechuan peppers are commonly used in Asian cuisine.

Kalsec says the Szechuan pepper extract has an ability to enhance other flavours and so has potential beyond traditional flavouring.
