Usage and dosage: decocted, 3 ~ 10g. Appropriate amount for external use. As edible oil, it is the same as peanut oil and rapeseed oil.

Zanthoxylum bungeanum seed oil is a kind of advanced health edible oil and additive rich in α -linolenic acid, which is made from Zanthoxylum bungeanum seed kernel, a by-product of Zanthoxylum bungeanum, by modern oil-making technology and advanced equipment. It can be used as common blending oil for cooking and can also be added to various foods. Zanthoxylum bungeanum seed oil is rich in unsaturated fatty acids necessary for human body, and the content of α -linolenic acid called "brain gold" by experts is as high as 30% or more.

α -linolenic acid is an essential polyunsaturated fatty acid, an important component of human tissues and cells, and an essential substance for human health. For people with hyperlipidemia, α -linolenic acid can obviously and effectively reduce serum cholesterol content, regulate the balance of human blood lipids, prevent hyperlipidemia and effectively block the inducing factors of cardiovascular diseases;

For teenagers, children and infants, DHA, a metabolite of α -linolenic acid, plays an important role in the formation, generation and development of brain cells and the prolongation of brain cell processes, and is an important substance to maintain normal retinal function and promote learning behavior. For pregnant women and lactating women, α -linolenic acid and its metabolite DHA are essential nutrients for intrauterine embryos. If the supply is insufficient, the brain, eyes and heart will not develop normally, which will also increase the risk of premature delivery and low weight of the fetus.

In addition, Zanthoxylum bungeanum seed oil also contains 90% unsaturated fatty acids, which has the effects of softening blood vessels, dredging collaterals and promoting blood circulation, strengthening brain and improving intelligence, and can effectively prevent and treat cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. The production process of this product is similar to rapeseed oil. It is made by pressing, oil immersion, separation, refining and other processes. The product has bright color, rich fragrance and rich nutrition. It is an ideal health care blending oil.

Technical management of pepper picking

Picking and post-harvest management of Zanthoxylum bungeanum fruit is one of the main techniques of Zanthoxylum bungeanum cultivation. In production, improper picking methods and simple and extensive management of picked trees often cause damage to branches and reduce nutrient accumulation, which directly affects flower bud differentiation and flowering and fruiting in the next year. According to the biological characteristics of pepper and the production practice of pepper farmers for many years, the following points should be done when picking pepper:

First, timely picking:

(1) The maturity of Zanthoxylum bungeanum fruit is greatly influenced by variety, climate and region, so it is difficult to determine the maturity. Due to different varieties, ecology, management level and maturity, the harvest period is usually July-September. My area is mainly Zanthoxylum bungeanum in Julia. From mid-late June to the end of August, the maturity varies from place to place.

(2) Mature external characteristics: When the leaves of Zanthoxylum bungeanum appear bright and shiny, the fruit turns red or purplish red, the epidermis is covered with obvious warty oil spots, transparent and shiny, the seeds turn black, the peel is easy to crack, and the fragrance is strong and spicy, choose sunny days to pick.

(3) Harvesting method: According to the characteristics and uses of varieties, determine the harvesting time and choose sunny morning for harvesting. When harvesting, pick the whole ear. Pay attention to cut off the ear stalk by hand or scissors, and don't pick the pepper by hand, so as not to crush the oil cells on the pepper fruit, reduce its color, aroma and taste, and affect its economic value. After picking, gently put it into the basket, and at the same time, it is not advisable to put too many peppers in the basket to avoid the oil cells on the peel from squeezing and colliding, which will affect the quality.

(4) Precautions for harvesting: 1. Protect the branches. The biggest feature of Zanthoxylum bungeanum is that the fruiting branches have strong continuous fruiting ability, and the medium-long fruit branches are basically at the top of the fruit branches. When harvesting, it is easy to cut off the total axis of the ear with scissors, which affects the regeneration of the new ear. The correct way is to hold the fruit branch with one hand and pick up the ear from the base of the fruit branch with the other hand, so as to keep the total axis of the ear as much as possible. The second is to protect the leaves. After the pepper is harvested, all the nutrients produced by the leaves are converted into nutrient accumulation. During the period from pepper picking to overwintering (the end of 10), we should try our best to keep the leaves intact, enhance photosynthesis and accumulate more nutrients.

Second, pay close attention to drying, which has a great influence on the commodity value of pepper and is the key link of high quality and good price. You should do the following:

First, picking should choose sunny weather to avoid rainy or dewy picking;

Second, collect while collecting, collect in the morning, dry at noon, and try to dry in the afternoon. Spread it out in the house when drying, and don't pile it up, otherwise it will increase the breathing intensity and be easy to get moldy;

Third, drying must be paved with reed mats and supported by wooden sticks to facilitate ventilation;

Fourth, don't spread it too thick when drying, about 3 cm is the most suitable, and stir it with bamboo every 0.5- 1 hour;

Fifth, do not directly expose to the sun on the cement floor, which will easily burn the embryo seeds and affect the emergence rate and oil yield;

Sixth, in case of continuous rainy weather during harvesting, fruits must be spread out, doors and windows should be opened, air should be turned frequently, and ventilation should be paid attention to. If necessary, it can be baked with refractory materials. Seventh, the pepper dryer has been used in production at present, which basically eliminates the harm caused by rainy weather.

Third, comprehensive post-harvest management:

(1) Prevent drought and protect trees. Soil with low water content and poor soil layer should be watered and moisturized in sunny morning, and it is best to cover crop straws with tree trays.

(2) Apply postpartum fertilizer. After picking, apply 5 ~ 10 kg of human and animal manure to each plant, add 25 ~ 50 g of calcium superphosphate and 0 ~ 25 g of potassium sulfate/kloc-0.

(3) plastic trimming. The pruning method and degree of Zanthoxylum bungeanum vary with varieties and tree ages. Young trees and strong trees should be thinned mainly to make their crowns expand rapidly. At the same time, more branchlets are left as auxiliary branches and fruiting branches to facilitate early fruiting. For strong branches, put them without cutting; For weak branches, cut them short to promote the emergence of strong branches.

Short cut should be light, not heavy, generally cut off 1/3 or 1/4 branches; Generally, trees that grow vigorously should be cut lightly; Weak growth, more fruits, and heavier pruning; Pepper orchards with the phenomenon of big and small years should be pruned again in the new year, and more branches should be left for development or growth promotion; Leave more fruiting branches in the off-year and remove some developing branches appropriately. If the above pruning methods are combined with other agricultural technical measures in pepper orchards where the phenomenon of big and small years is serious, the phenomenon of big and small years can be solved in 3 ~ 5 years. ?
