Fermentation
What is Fermentation?
Fermentation is the conversion of carbohydrates to alcohol or organic acids using microorganisms – yeasts or bacteria – under anaerobic (oxygen-free) conditions.

- We are the UK’s leading fermented mash supplier providing an extensive range of named chillies from around the world.
- The Chilli Doctor mashes have a long shelf life and are a great base for a variety of applications such as chilli sauces, marinades, ready meals and chutneys.
- During fermentation salinity, acidity, temperature and the exclusion of oxygen all control which mash microorganisms dominate. These microorganisms and the chilli variety used determine the final mash flavour.
- The acidity and salinity of mashes means that they do not support microbial growth and are ambient stable so requiring no temperature controls during storage.
