Abstract:The change of people’s eating habits as well as the consumption upgrades have actually acted as catalyst and directly accelerated the development of the new track of “Prefabricated Dishes”, and the industrial scale has gradually stepped into a trillion market. As a type of famous and delicious dishes with a very long history in China, Sichuan Cuisines occupies an important position in Chinese cuisine and is one of the most important directions for the development of prefabricated dishes industry. Herein, by starting with a brief introduction of modern Sichuan Cuisines, we summarized the development and industrialization of specialties in Chongqing and Sichuan, such as dishes, hot pots and specialty staple foods. Moreover, on the basis of the flavor, production, circulation of Sichuan Cuisines, a novel classification approach has been proposed to give a systematic discussion on the problems and prospective in the development of “Prefabricated Dishes”. Subsequently, the key scientific and technical problems including the mechanism of quality formation, the healthy promotion of products, the processing adaptability of food raw material, the quality maintenance of dishes, intelligent manufacturing, and standardization have also been put forward, which is expected to accelerate the application of new technology, new process and new equipment in the prefabricated dishes and promote the development of prefabricated dishes industry.
