1.Cleaning

The first step in making chili sauce is to clean the raw materials. First, fresh chili peppers and other ingredients (such as garlic, onions, etc.) are sorted to select high-quality raw materials. Then, impurities, pesticide residues and dirt on the surface of the chili peppers are thoroughly cleaned using clean water and special cleaning equipment to ensure the safety and hygiene of the product.

 

2. Crushing

After washing, the chili need to be crushed. Usually, a crusher is used to cut the peppers into small pieces, which can better release the aroma and taste of the peppers. During the crushing process, care should be taken to control the degree of crushing to prevent the peppers from being cut too finely, which will affect the subsequent grinding and mixing process.

 

3. Grinding

The crushed chili will be sent to the grinder for fine grinding. The purpose of grinding is to further refine the chili pieces and make them into a uniform slurry. During this process, an appropriate amount of cooking oil or water may be added to improve the grinding effect. After grinding, the aroma and taste of the chili will be more intense, laying a good foundation for subsequent modulation.

 

4. Blending

After grinding, the chili sauce will be transferred to the tank. In this step, you can add appropriate amounts of salt, sugar, vinegar, spices and other seasonings according to the product recipe to adjust the taste and flavor of the chili sauce. The blending process requires strict control of the proportion of ingredients to ensure that the flavor of each batch of chili sauce is consistent.

 

5. Cooking

This step not only kills bacteria and prolongs shelf life, but also further blends the flavors. The cooking temperature and time need to be adjusted according to the recipe to maintain the flavor and color of the chili. During the cooking process, other ingredients such as thickeners can also be added to improve the consistency and texture of the chili sauce.

 

6. Cooling and Packaging

After cooling, the chili sauce will be transferred to the automatic packaging equipment for packaging and sealing. The packaging materials and methods will also affect the shelf life of the product, so it is necessary to choose the appropriate packaging method and packaging materials.
