Red Sichuan pepper, the fruit of Zanthoxylum Bungeanum Maxim., belongs to the Rutaceae family. Red Sichuan pepper is also known as dried prickly ash red pepper and red prickly ash. The surface of its fruit is dotted with oil cells, which contain volatile oils and amide substances, making it the unique ingredient that provides a numbing flavor. Sichuan red pepper has been used in Chinese cuisine for thousands of years and is one of the most traditional seasonings in China. Sichuan pepper is mainly found in regions such as Sichuan, China.
Red sichuan pepper contains volatile oils and amide substances. The volatile oils are composed of natural terpenes, alcohols, esters, and other compounds that primarily contribute to its aroma; while the amide substances are composed of various sanshool compounds, which mainly provide the numbing flavor. This numbing sensation is similar to the spicy taste of chili peppers and is characterized by a tingling sensation.
