Product Introduction

Pepper extract is derived from the dried fruits of Piper nigrum, commonly known as black pepper. The main bioactive compound in the extract is piperine, an alkaloid responsible for its pungency and health-promoting properties. It is widely used in dietary supplements to enhance nutrient absorption, improve digestion, and support metabolic functions. Due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, pepper extract is also incorporated into functional foods and pharmaceutical formulations.

Production Process

The extraction process begins with selecting high-quality black pepper fruits, which are dried and ground into a fine powder. Solvent extraction, typically using ethanol or water, is used to isolate piperine and other beneficial compounds. The extract is then concentrated, purified, and dried through spray drying or vacuum drying techniques. The final product undergoes rigorous quality testing to ensure purity and potency before packaging.

Plant Source

Piper nigrum, or black pepper, is a flowering vine native to South India and widely cultivated in tropical regions, including Vietnam, Indonesia, and Brazil. The plant produces small, round fruits known as peppercorns, which are harvested and processed to obtain various forms of pepper, including black, white, and green pepper. The bioactive compound piperine is concentrated in the outer layer of the fruit, making it a valuable source for extracts.
