Pathway Edits

  • FADS2 (fatty acid desaturase 2) upregulation for C16/C18 polyunsaturated fatty acid substrate production feeding alkylamide biosynthesis
  • Acyl-CoA synthetase (LACS) isoform overexpression for activation of sanshool-chain fatty acid intermediates
  • PKS-like polyketide synthase integration for alkenyl-chain assembly from C2-extension condensation cycles
  • Amide bond-forming enzyme (BAHD acyltransferase) introduction for N-isobutylamide conjugation to hydroxylated alkenyl chain
  • CYP450 chain-hydroxylation enzyme for sanshool-analog C-2 hydroxy group introduction
  • Fatty acid elongase (FAE1) modulation for extended alkylamide carbon-chain length optimization
  • Lipid transfer protein suppression to prevent sequestration of sanshool-analog intermediates in subcellular lipid bodies

Use Case

Tier IV alpha-sanshool-enriched ingredient platform for Sichuan pepper flavor applications, tingling-numbing mouthfeel development in culinary products, and TRPA1/KCNK3 dual-target sensory ingredient production for novel flavor texture experiences in sauces, noodles, and specialty condiments. Designed for flavor innovators seeking the authentic ma (numbing) sensation of Zanthoxylum without botanical supply constraints or regulatory complexity of whole spice imports.
